Ingredients

FOR THE BANANA CAKE

  • 1 and 3/4 cup ( about 5 ) overripe bananas mashed and measured in a liquid measuring cup
  • 1 cup canola oil melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

FOR THE OATMEAL CRUMB TOPPING

  • 2/3 cup quick oats
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter or 1/2 of a stick , cut into small cubes

FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE (OPTIONAL)

  • 150 g semi sweet chocolate
  • 2 -3 tsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x5 inch and 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pans with parchment paper. Combine the crumb topping ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, combine mashed bananas, egg, canola oil and vanilla extract.
  • Stir banana mixture into flour mixture until blended. Be careful not to over mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans until they are 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumb toppings evenly over the cake batters. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean ( some bits of melted chocolate and moist crumbs may be present.)
  • To make the chocolate syrup (optional): melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 30-40 seconds at a time. Once the chocolate is very soft but is still holding its shape, stir with a fork and add the vegetable oil. Stir until pourable. You may need to add more oil as needed. Drizzle the syrup on top of cakes.
