Flourless Sugar Free Chocolate Banana Oat Bake
Easy, healthy and delicious for breakfast or those snack cravings.
I will warn you that this bake is not sweet except for the chocolate topping – so if you need for it be sweet, feel free to add 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey to the mix. It is super crunchy which we loved, and a great way to use up your ripened bananas though.
You can use any nuts you have on hand for the topping. I chose roasted unsalted cashews but I would also do peanuts, walnuts or even pumpkin seeds. The chocolate works great as a sweetener on top. And if you don’t like bananas, you can sub in 1 cup of applesauce.

Flourless Sugar Free Chocolate Banana Oat Bake
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 eggs
- pinch salt
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
Topping:
- 1/3 cup chopped cashews
- 3 tbs sugar free chocolate chips
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- PLEASE NOTE: This is not a sweet treat. It is only sweetened slightly by the bananas and mostly by the chocolate drizzle on top. If you do want to sweeten it up a bit more, I recommend adding 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey when you're mixing in the eggs!
- Preheat your oven to 350℉. Lightly spray or grease a 10½ x 7½" baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, mix the oats and the milk and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mash your bananas and then whisk in the eggs and salt. Next mix in the cacao powder and baking powder until combined. Lastly milky oats to the large bowl and mix to combine. Transfer the batter to your baking dish. Sprinkle on the chopped cashews and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for 20 minutes then melt the chocolate with the oil in a small pot on low heat, stirring constantly. Drizzle it over the cake and let it set in the fridge or on your counter. Slice and serve.
Notes
1 cup applesauce can be subbed for the bananas

My parents and boyfriend devoured those. They didn’t leave me any :'(
I only got to test taste it.
Hi Fran, I’m glad your family loved them but sorry you didnt get to really have any! THat’s just another reason to make them again though! lol
Can you replace oats with Almond flour and if so what is the amount
Hi Lisa, I haven’t tried it but I think almond flour will work too. I would possibly add an egg or two to the mixture though too for almond flour.
This is a keeper ! I was out of chocolate to drizzle on top but it was still delicious , moist and a great snack / dessert bite !
Thank you !
Hello! I’m so glad you liked the snack! Thank you for trying it!
thank you!! , are the calories listed per serving?
This is a great low calorie afternoon snack. The melted sugar free chocolate chips and nuts give that little extra flavor. I also added 1 Tbsp of maple syrup. My kids liked it too. I will definitely continue to make this. I used parchment paper to line the bottom of the pan and the oat slices came out easy and it was an easy clean up.
So, i am lazy sometimes and this snack/breakfast is a good choice. What i mean, is that apart from the oat and milk, i whisked everything one by one directly in the baking dish. (spoiler: the dish is hard to clean after)
I used once your measurements and the 2nd time, i added an extra 30g of chocolate protein powder.
My boyfriend called it a good flapjack :)))
I’m curious about your measurements, cuz i’ve converted them online and they are different. How do you convert them?
This is a great flapjack!
I just did this and i love it. I love the fact that it doesn’t require sugar and it’s so easy to make.
I didn’t do the topping, i just threw on half some roasted cashews and on the other half some dark chocolate.
I think next time i’ll try to add protein powder. How much do you recommend, Stella?
Add 2/3 cup of shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened) for improved flavor and texture.
Do you know how many calories? Thanks
