5 Reasons Why You Should Eat More Bananas
1. They’re a Superfood :
Compared to apples, bananas have twice as many carbohydrates, five times as much vitamin A and iron, and three times as much phosphorus. Bananas are also rich in potassium, fiber, vitamin C and natural sugars. Because the fruit’s sugar content is balanced with fiber, it helps maintain a healthy blood glucose level. Even people with diabetes can enjoy a banana.
2. They’re Good For Your Heart :
High in potassium and low in salt, bananas are able to lower blood pressure and protect against heart attacks and strokes.
3. They Give You That Extra Boost :
Eat a banana to energize you before a workout, because they contain natural compounds that help to boost the body with natural energy. Two bananas can power you through an hour and a half workout or walk, or whatever exercise method you choose. Aside from providing energy, bananas can also protect against muscle cramps during workouts.

CAKE INGREDIENTS
Vegetable oil : I opted for olive oil (it’s my favorite oil), but other options are soybean, corn or sunflower oil, for example.
Banana : use very ripe bananas, they are softer and tastier, make the cake sweeter and have an intensified fruit flavor. If you are going to use frozen bananas , it is necessary to thaw them first and let them come to room temperature.
Sugar : to sweeten it a little more. In the photo we show crystal sugar, but you can also use demerara.
Wheat flour : it is the main flour of our cake, which will give structure to the dough. There is no replacement for her. If you want a wheat-free version, check out our Gluten -Free Banana Cake and Caramelized Banana Cake recipes .
Coarse flaked oatmeal : is incorporated into the dough and provides an optimal texture for the cake.
We also use water , chemical yeast and baking soda to make the cake rise, salt to balance the flavors and cinnamon powder to make everything tastier. You can also use vanilla extract if you like.
HOW TO MAKE BANANA OATMEAL CAKE
There’s no mystery: just mash the banana, mix the other liquid ingredients, sieve the solids, incorporate the oats and that’s it. Just mix it up .
Then just transfer the dough to a greased shape (with oil or good quality parchment paper ) and bake in a preheated oven until golden and large. It takes around 1 hour. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
Ireally like using a bread pan because I think the cake is especially beautiful (and convenient to serve) that way. You can use any other way you want.
