Guilt-Free Banana Oat Delights: A Sugar-Free, Flour-Free Dessert Dream
In a blender or food processor, puree the peeled bananas until smooth. This not only adds natural sweetness but also contributes to the moist texture of our treats.
Transfer the banana puree to a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and milk, whisking until well combined. The eggs will provide structure to our dessert, while the milk adds moisture and helps bind the ingredients.
2. Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the rolled oats, coconut flakes, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and you have a smooth batter. The oats and coconut flakes not only add fiber and healthy fats but also create a delightful texture.

3. Bake the Base
Line a baking dish (approximately 9×9 inches or 23×23 cm) with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly. This ensures uniform baking and a consistent texture throughout.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Prepare the Topping
While the base is cooling, let’s prepare our decadent topping. Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl along with the butter.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
Stir in the chopped nuts. This adds a delightful crunch and a boost of healthy fats and protein.
