Tools You’ll Need

How to Make Flourless Banana Ginger Oat Cake

Prep the oats: Grind your rolled oats in a blender or food processor until fine, like flour.
Mash the bananas: In a large bowl, mash your ripe bananas until smooth. This is your natural sweetener base!
Mix wet ingredients: Stir in the Greek yogurt, eggs, and maple syrup until creamy and well combined.
Add dry ingredients: Fold in your oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger until just combined.
Bake: Pour the batter into a lined cake pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool & serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Every step fills the kitchen with the cozy aroma of banana bread with a spicy ginger twist—you’ll have a hard time waiting for it to cool!

What to Serve with Flourless Banana Ginger Oat Cake

This cake pairs beautifully with:

A dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey.
A warm latte or chai tea.
Fresh berries for a colorful breakfast plate.
A spread of almond butter for extra protein.

Tips for Making It Perfect

Ripe bananas are key: The more spotted and sweet, the better the flavor.
Don’t overmix: Stir just until combined for a tender crumb.
Line your pan: This prevents sticking since oat-based cakes can be delicate.
Check doneness early: Every oven is different—start checking at 28 minutes.

Storage Instructions

Room temperature: Store covered for up to 2 days.
Fridge: Keeps well for 5–6 days when wrapped.
Freezer: Slice into squares, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight or microwave before serving.
