Blow Your Mind With Banana Blender Cake

My friend Gwen came over for coffee the other day, and I whipped this “cake” together for our morning treat…but the best part was, it wasn’t a treat OR a cheat! It was a healthy morning snack or breakfast! Being able to quickly whip something like this together for a visit from a friend is seriously one of the best parts about cooking and baking. Nothing says love like warm homemade goodness straight from the oven!

And I haven’t even told you the best part… like all my favorite recipes, it is easy, delicious, healthy, and…wait for it… made by the “dump it all in a blender” method. YES!


So, what’s all in this cake, you ask? Well, sheer deliciousness, that’s what. Hahaha. Here’s what you need: a large blender, an oven preheated to 350 degrees, a non-stick or pre-greased pan (I used a 9” round), and the following ingredients:

🌟🌟🌟In this order, wet on bottom dry on top!🌟🌟🌟

1 ½ cups of oats
1/3 cup ground flax seed
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
½ T cinnamon
2 T. Local Raw Honey
1 Tablespoon real vanilla extract        
3 ripe bananas
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
3 egg whites

After blending, simply pour it in!

You have the option to fold in mixers, and decorate the top. I chose to fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts and ½ cup all natural dark chocolate chips. I decorated the top with a few spare chips and a few slices of an extra banana, which a split with my one year old, Eli.

You’ll need to bake this about 25 minutes (at 350, remember?), then check the doneness, like all good bakers, with a toothpick to the center.

If the center looks wet, wiggles when you jiggle the pan, or the toothpick doesn’t come out clean, give it a few more minutes, then check it again. Always remember to make quick work of opening and closing the oven door, to keep your baking temperature even. Remember, baking is a science- temperature and measurements matter. But as far as experiments go, it doesn’t get any easier than this! Cover with a towel and flip it over to release the cake, edging the sides with a plastic knife if needed. Place on a cooling rack for about ten minutes before slicing.

This is the nutritional info with NO add-on toppings, per serving, cut into pretty decent sized slices, 8 per recipe:
