👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
✔️ Step 1: Soak the Oats
Pour the milk over oats in a bowl and let them soak for 5 minutes.
💡This softens the oats and helps them bind better when baking.
✔️ Step 2: Mash the Banana
In a separate bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
💡Riper bananas are sweeter and make the texture silkier.
✔️ Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
Whisk together the eggs, mashed banana, and vanilla sugar.
💡Don’t overmix — gentle whisking keeps the bake fluffy.
✔️ Step 4: Add the Apple
Chop the apple into small pieces and fold into the mix.
💡Leave the skin on for more fibre and texture.
✔️ Step 5: Combine with Oats
Stir the soaked oats into the egg-fruit mixture.
💡Let it sit a few extra minutes for creamier texture.
✔️ Step 6: Add Walnuts and Chocolate
Fold in chopped walnuts and chocolate.
💡Reserve a few to sprinkle on top before baking.
✔️ Step 7: Grease the Pan
Brush olive oil over a 15×20 cm baking dish.
💡You can also use parchment paper for easy lifting.
✔️ Step 8: Pour the Batter
Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish.
💡Tap gently to release any air bubbles.
✔️ Step 9: Bake to Golden
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes until golden and set.
💡A toothpick should come out clean from the centre.
✔️ Step 10: Cool and Serve
Let it cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!
💡Pairs perfectly with yoghurt or nut butter.
