Healthier Chocolate Chunk Banana Cake (Gluten Free)

147

We couldn’t get over the texture and flavor of this cake. So simple to throw together in one bowl and beyond delicious and fluffy. If you like this banana chocolate chunk cake, you will love this Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cake or this Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread.

If you don’t have oat flour ready, you can make it yourself in a food processor with rolled oats. Just pulse them until they resemble a flour consistency. If you don’t have espresso powder, just skip it! The cake will still taste incredible!

You can use a chopped up chocolate bar or chocolate chips. Or even use nuts and seeds as an add in. The olive oil can be subbed with avocado oil or melted butter.
