Chocolate Oat Banana Bread

Ingredients

1 large egg
75 ml (5 tbsp) vegetable oil
125 g (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp) golden caster sugar
3 bananas (sliced - ideally these need to be older, well-speckled bananas)
150 g (1 cup + 1 tbsp) plain (all-purpose) flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
40 g (7 tbsp) rolled oats
50 g (1 3/4 oz) dark chocolate (finely chopped)

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180c and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment. In a mixer, whisk the egg, oil and sugar until combined, then add in two of the sliced bananas. Whisk again until the banana breaks down and you've got a slightly lumpy liquid.
2
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and 30g of the oats together. Add this dry mix into the wet mix and stir until combined. Then add in the chopped chocolate and stir.
3
Pour into the loaf tin, then place a single layer of slices from the remaining banana on top. Pack these close together as they will spread as the cake rises (you can see how far the banana slices have spread due to cake rise in my picture). Sprinkle the remaining oats on top and put in the oven for 40-50 minutes (check it's done after 40 minutes by insterting a metal skewer in the cake, if it comes out clean, it's cooked. It usually takes 50 minutes in my oven though).
4
Take out of oven, leave to cool for a few minutes, then take out of the tin and leave to cool on a cooling rack.
