Main Ingredients- 400g finely ground oatmeal
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1.5-2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 squares of dark chocolate (or your preferred chocolate)
- 100g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 fresh eggs
- 3 tsp maple syrup for added sweetness
- 1 tsp baking powder for a moist texture
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the 3 ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly with a fork until smooth. You can also use a blender for a creamier texture. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more moist your cake will be.
Step 2
Crack the 2 fresh eggs into a bowl. Using a food processor or blender will help incorporate them more smoothly with the other ingredients.
Step 3
Prepare milk to make the cake batter smooth. Approximately 1 cup should be sufficient. (Milk quantity was added as it was not specified in the original recipe.)
Step 4
In a food processor, combine the 2 eggs, the prepared milk (approx. 1 cup), and 2 tsp of erythritol (or sugar) to adjust sweetness. Blend until all ingredients are finely combined. You can use regular sugar instead of erythritol.
Step 5
Grind the 400g of oatmeal in a food processor or blender until it resembles breadcrumbs. This will ensure the oatmeal mixes smoothly into the batter without lumps. This should be about 2 cups in volume.
Step 6
Now it’s time to mix all the ingredients. Add the 100g cocoa powder, 1 cup of almond flour (by paper cup measurement), the previously blended egg, milk, and erythritol mixture, and the finely ground oatmeal to the food processor. Also, add 1 cup of olive oil (by paper cup measurement), the 4 melted chocolate squares, and 1 tsp baking powder. Process until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. If you don’t have a food processor, transfer all ingredients to a large bowl and mix thoroughly with a spatula or whisk.
Step 7
Prepare a round cake pan. Line the pan with parchment paper to prevent the batter from sticking. Carefully pour the well-mixed cake batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top surface for a neater finish.
Step 8
Place the prepared cake batter into the air fryer and bake at 160°C (320°F) for 40 minutes. You’ll see the cake puff up nicely during baking. Test for doneness by inserting a skewer; it should come out clean.
Step 9
After 40 minutes, carefully flip the cake and bake the other side at 160°C (320°F) for another 20 minutes. This ensures all sides are evenly cooked and adds a pleasant crispness. Once fully baked, remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
