Instructions
Preheat Oven – Preheat to 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes.
Make Banana Puree – Peel and chop bananas. Add bananas, sugar, oil, and milk to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Combine Dry Ingredients – Pour banana puree into a mixing bowl. Place a sieve over the bowl, add flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Sift and gently fold in using a whisk or spatula.
Add Mix-Ins – Stir in vanilla essence, chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and airy.
Prepare Baking Pan – Line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly and tap gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake – Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool & Serve – Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use overripe bananas for natural sweetness and a richer flavor.
For a dairy-free version, swap milk with almond milk or oat milk.
Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a bakery-style look.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or a week in the fridge.
