• 1 cup (90 g) oat flakes
• 2 apples
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
• 70 g cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
• 1 banana
• Oil (for greasing the baking dish)

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).
2. Peel the apples and banana, then slice them thinly.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the oat flakes, cocoa powder, and baking powder evenly.
4. Beat the eggs and vegetable oil, then add them to the dry ingredients. Stir until you get a smooth, homogeneous batter.
5. Gently fold in the sliced apple and banana pieces so they’re evenly distributed without breaking up.
6. Grease the baking dish lightly with oil. Pour in the batter and level the surface with a spatula.
7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center – it should come out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool before cutting and serving.
9. Enjoy a wholesome dessert that combines simple ingredients with rich chocolate flavor, free from refined sugar or flour.
