Instructions
Banana Oatmeal Bake Cake
- Preheat your oven to 375°F

- Mash those bananas and softened butter until smooth and then add the sugar and whisk until mostly dissolved
- Add the eggs, Greek yogurt and vanilla whisk everything until combined
- Stir in your dry ingredients until everything is well combined. If you’re feeling fancy, this is when you would fold in some chocolate chips, nuts, or your favorite berries.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9X13 baking dish
- Bake for about 25-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Cinnamon Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting
- Take your cream cheese out of the fridge to soften
- Start melting your butter in a pan on the stove. Once melted, start stirring it over medium heat every couple of seconds. You will see a white foam coming from the top of the butter, that’s your water boiling off. The butter will turn quiet and start to develop brown bits on the bottom of the pan, when that happens your butter is done!
- Add cinnamon to the hot brown butter and transfer the finished butter into a mixing bowl and let cool for about 15 minutes (This blooms the cinnamon, intensifying the flavor)
- Once cooled, add your brick of cream cheese and get your hand mixer and start beating the fats together. (it will look broken for a few minutes, but trust the process and keep beating, it will come together)
- Once beaten and airy, add your salt, vanilla, and powdered sugar, and beat until fluffy
- Now plop the frosting onto your cooled oatmeal cake, spread it out, and get ready for a taste explosion!
