How to Make Banana Oatmeal Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch rectangular baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Beat well with a wooden spoon until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) and ½ cup raisins.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
