👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Soak the Oats
🥣 Combine the oats (70 g) with yoghurt (150 g) and let sit for 10 minutes.
💡 This softens the oats and creates a smoother texture in the final bake.
Step 2: Mash the Bananas
🍌 In a separate bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until smooth.
💡 Overripe bananas add extra sweetness and moisture.
Step 3: Mix the Base
🫙 Add the soaked oats and yoghurt into the banana mash. Stir well.
💡 Don’t worry if it’s a little lumpy — it’ll bake perfectly.
Step 4: Add Cocoa and Condensed Milk
🍫 Stir in cocoa powder (2–3 tbsp) and condensed milk (50 g).
💡 Use 3 tbsp for a richer chocolate flavour, or 2 for a milder one.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate
🔥 Melt chocolate (40 g) gently over low heat or in the microwave.
💡 Add a splash of milk or cream if it seems too thick.
Step 6: Mix in the Melted Chocolate
🍯 Add melted chocolate to the batter and stir to combine.
💡 It brings depth and extra creaminess to the cake.
Step 7: Add Your Favourite Nuts
🥜 Fold in any chopped nuts of your choice — walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts.
💡 Toast the nuts first for a bolder flavour.
Step 8: Pour and Smooth
🧁 Transfer the batter into a greased or lined cake tin.
💡 A silicone mould works great for easy removal.
Step 9: Bake the Cake
🔥 Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 25–30 minutes.
💡 It’s ready when the centre is firm and a toothpick comes out slightly moist.
Step 10: Cool and Slice
❄️ Let it cool completely before slicing.
💡 Best served chilled — the flavours deepen overnight!
