Breakfast Banana Cake

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup bananas, sliced
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup flaked coconut
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, or as needed

Directions

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl; set aside.

Beat the brown sugar, eggs, bananas, vanilla extract, orange zest, and butter in a bowl until smooth. Stir the dry mixture into the egg mixture until smooth; fold in the coconut and almonds. Pour into the prepared cake pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
