Original Recipe Yield 1 - 8x8 inch pan
 

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
  •  
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup mashed banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch pan. Make the oat crunch topping: In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, melted butter and 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts. Mix well and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream shortening and white sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in bananas, eggs, and vanilla. Combine the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt. Beat into creamed mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the oat crunch topping.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
