My friend and nutritionist, Anne Goetze, developed this recipe and I tweaked it with one small ingredient addition. My boys will not eat a simple banana but they devour this cake in seconds and it's pretty wholesome so I don't mind terribly much.
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup quick oatmeal
1 cup sifted plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup mashed bananas (about 3)
2/3 cup oil (i use canola)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
2 tsp sesame seeds
Pour boiling water over oatmeal. Mix; let stand until cool. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and soda, whole wheat flour and brown sugar in one bowl. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas then mix with the oil, eggs and oats. Beat well. Pour this wet mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips if desired. Pour into in a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top (I don't because the kids don't like them). Bake at 350F (180C) for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean.
Try it.....
