Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a 20 cm (7.8 in) cake mold with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth, then add Greek yogurt, large egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy.
  3. Gradually incorporate oat flour and almond flour, then sprinkle in baking powder, and slowly add milk while stirring to reach batter consistency. Fold in optional chocolate chips.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared mold, smooth the top, and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Allow the cake to cool in the mold for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or plate to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture. Check the cake a few minutes early to prevent over-baking. Cool completely for best texture when serving.
