Ingredients:

• 3 bananas
• 1 oz of cocoa
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 9 oz of oat flakes
• 7 oz of melted dark chocolate
• 1.5-2 oz of peanuts for sprinkling

Instructions:

Step 1. Begin by preparing the bananas. First, peel them then blend them into a smooth mass in a bowl. Afterward, add the cinnamon and cocoa.

Mix the ingredients using a kitchen spatula.

Step 2. Next, pour the oat flakes into a hot frying pan and heat them for a few minutes. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon.

After a few minutes, transfer the toasted flakes to the banana mixture and stir everything together until well-combined.

Step 3. Get a large plate and a round cake ring ready on the counter. Mould half of the mixture into the base of the cake in the ring. Then, add a layer of banana slices on top.

But it doesn't stop there. It's time to add the third component - another layer of the banana-oat mixture.

Step 4. Time for the stove again. Now, roast the peanuts in the hot frying pan until they turn a slight golden color.

Step 5. Back to the cake, prepare a melted dark chocolate glaze in a double boiler. Pour it over the cake, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the toasted peanuts as decoration.

Finally, chill the cake in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Step 6. All done! Enjoy your meal!
