Can you believe that it's possible to make a cake in a pan without being a pancake? :P
Ingredients
To make this delicious vegan banana and blueberry cake you will need
1 tablespoon of flaxseed flour
1 tablespoon warm water
4 tablespoons of oat flour
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 mashed banana
½ cup vegetable milk
Blueberries (as many as you like!)
How to make
First mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 1 tablespoon of warm water. The flaxseed is responsible for binding the dough, playing the same role as the egg.

Then mix the other dry ingredients, i.e. the oat flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mash the banana and add vegetable milk little by little.
You will notice that 1 tablespoon of baking powder seems like a lot of baking powder for this amount of dough. However, as vegan cakes are a little "heavier" than gluten cakes. Also, this cake has bananas in the batter, so it needs a good amount of baking powder to be fluffy.
Yes, we need a bit more of baking powder
Well, after mixing all the "wet" ingredients it was time to include the blueberries. I simply love blueberries! So, I add a lot of them!
After incorporating all the ingredients, grease the pan with coconut oil and pour the batter in. Turn on the stove and cover the pan so that the batter can bake. After 10 minutes, turn the dough over on the other side.
ready to bake!
It takes about 20 minutes to be ready (but this can vary, depending on your type of cooktop) and it is delicious!
The blueberries turn into a delicious natural jelly that gives an amazing flavor to this cookie. Prepare your favorite tea and you have this delicious treat to savor and enjoy your afternoon or morning!
