Ingredients TO COMPLETE:

Ingredients Lactose-free/dairy-free chocolate syrup/topping:
– 100 g gluten-free and lactose-free chocolate – semi-sweet or other chocolate of your choice (or sugar-free and gluten-free vegan chocolate)
– 30 ml of coconut milk
– 2 teaspoons of water, filtered, or enough to make the point (see recipe)
PREPARATION:
- Separate the utensils and ingredients for the recipe. It can be sugar free, just remove the honey and use 0% sugar or diet chocolate in the topping.
- For 4 portions, use an 18-20cm lined non-stick pan with a removable base – test to make sure it doesn’t come out when you add water – and line it with aluminum foil on the outside. If he loses, choose another conventional one. Grease it with coconut oil.
PREPARATION:
Oats – Hydrate – (do this step during pre-prep):
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Start by heating the lactose-free milk (see quantities in the ingredients).
- Place the gluten-free oat flakes in a bowl, cover with the hot liquid and let steep for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, continue preparing the dough.
Banana, cocoa and oat cake (with spices) – Dough preparation:
- While you hydrate the oats, chop the final nuts into small pieces and set aside.
- Mash the banana(s), place in a bowl and mix with the egg(s).
- Add the cocoa powder, salt, honey and mix with a whisk to combine.
- Add spices: grated cumaru, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and ground ginger.
- Add the hydrated gluten-free oats into the milk and stir to combine.
- Finally add the chemical yeast and mix.
Banana, cocoa and oat cake (with spices) – COOKING:
- Transfer the dough to the greased non-stick pan.
- Arrange the chopped walnuts on top of the cake, distributing them over the entire surface.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes or until the surface has solidified.
- The cake will be ready when, when you insert the tip of the knife into the center of the cake, it is still a little dirty: do not overcook it otherwise it will be dry.
- Let it cool a little, in the meantime prepare the chocolate syrup (optional).
Lactose/milk free chocolate sauce:
- Break the chocolate into smaller pieces. Place it in a non-metallic bowl.
- Microwave on medium for 2 minutes – or long enough for it to melt (progressively increase, if necessary).
- Add coconut milk, stir to combine. The syrup will look a little broken, but this will be fixed in the next step.
- Add the filtered water (see the amount in the ingredients, as it may vary depending on the fat in the coconut milk).
- Check that the syrup is fluid and shiny. Test with the spatula: it should slide like a ribbon.
- If necessary, add more filtered water, little by little, until cooked.
- Transfer to a piping bag or plastic bag with the tip cut off.
- Book.
Decoration:
- Unmold the cake, leaving the side with the nuts facing upwards.
- Decorate with chocolate syrup over the nuts, creating squares or diamonds on top.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
- Transfer the cake to a serving plate.
- Serve the banana, cocoa and oat cake with spices sliced.
- At room temperature the shelf life is up to 3 days.
- If you leave it in the refrigerator, take it out a little before serving.
