1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
½ cup corn oil (or half applesauce) (OR 1/2 c applesauce, 1 T coconut oil and omit milk below)
2 eggs
3 medium bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 tablespoons milk
1 cup raisins (or half cup)
topping:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl to combine. Set aside.
On medium speed, beat the sugar and vegetable oil to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each until combined. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract; beat to combine. Alternatively add the flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat just until the flour is incorporated and finish mixing with a spatula.
Spread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping (or handful of chocolate chips) evenly over the batter. Bake until a thin knife inserted in the center comes out almost clean, about 60 minutes.(I baked for 55).
Cool the cake on a wire rack for for ten minutes. Remove loaf from pan and let cool…or eat it warm. That is the best:)
