Whether you are gluten-free, out of flour, or simply just looking for something new to bake  this Banana Oatmeal Block Recipe is the perfect option. You will honey it because it's tender, moist, and brimming with banana flavour while being super easy to make (hint: the cake batter is whipped up in a blender!).

Serve this block for dessert at your next family dinner, cookout, or birthday. It serves a oversupply and will satisfy almost any sweetness tooth.

Like I hear is happening in many other parts of America, flour is quite hard to come up by these days (is information technology difficult to find where you live? Please comment at the bottom of this post!).

Initially I rationed, but I somewhen ran out. It was destined to happen, I estimate, with all this baking I've been up to.

Only, simply because the flour is out doesn't mean we need to stop blistering!

Instead, information technology's time to experiment with all the different flour alternatives.

One of my all time favorite flour alternatives is oats.

That's correct: skillful, old fashioned (literally) oatmeal.

Why, yous may ask?  Well, old fashioned oats are…

• Super versatile
• A natural gluten-free alternative (just make sure you accept certified gluten-free oats if yous can't eat gluten!)
• Cheaper than gluten-gratuitous flours
• Easy to observe in the stores

 Simply give your oats a quick whirl in the blender and you have oat flour to employ in and so many different recipes.

Use oats in your baking and salve even more time and fuss by just throwing all your ingredients in the blender and make your oat flour as you blend upwardly your batter!

It's ane of my favorite recipe hacks… and is and then unexpected! The resulting cakes,cupcakes, and muffins are so tender thanks to the way that the oats hold onto moisture and the oats pick upwards almost all flavors so well.

So, let's get to baking, shall we? Get gear up to reinvent your baking game in the best, and most tastiest style possible, and have a delicious banana cake to testify for it.

Homemade Banana Oatmeal Cake Ingredients:

Overripe large bananas - we'll want four ½ of them, or 3 ¼ cups. Don't skimp on this because the bananas add so much moisture and flavor to the cake.

Unsweetened almond milk - the batter is already sweet equally it is then we don't need any extra sweetener in the milk

Granulated white sugar - we'll be using just enough sweetener to bring out the flavor in this block. Afterwards all, the bananas already add together then much natural sweetness to the cake. Believe it or not, we'll simply be using ¾ loving cup granulated saccharide in the cake batter!

Cinnamon - cinnamon enhances the season of assistant without overpowering the fruit's flavour.  Whatsoever type of cinnamon volition do but I am personally partial to Vietnamese or Saigon cinnamon.

Former fashioned oats - we want old fashioned, not quick-cooking or instant oats for this recipe.

Butter - unsalted butter is best. This will be for the cream cheese frosting!

Foam cheese - what is a banana cake without a foam cheese frosting?! Don't skimp and go low fat on the cream cheese, we want the richness of full fat.

Confectioner's sugar - the lightness of this carbohydrate makes the frosting light and fluffy.
