2. Prepare the dough
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. These bananas will add a natural sweetness and nice moisture to your cake.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sweetener (if using). If your bananas are very ripe, the sweetener can be omitted. Then add the mashed bananas, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Stir until combined.
3. Add the oats
Add the oatmeal and milk mixture to the dough. Mix carefully so that all the ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Add the nuts
Add the chopped walnuts to the dough. They will add a nice crunch and a nutty flavor that will pair perfectly with the chocolate and banana.
5. Bake the cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Add the chocolate
Once the cake has cooled, melt the dark chocolate and pour it over the top of the cake. You can also sprinkle some chopped dark chocolate on top for a more indulgent texture.
