Toppers Banana Oat Cake - Yum!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Topper and EveryOne,

Wow you have to try this cake!!! It is fantastic:-))

Made it today, followed Topper's recipe, added nuts and raisins, and topped

with grated coconut. Amazingly good aroma refreshed my kitchen and the taste

of the cake is to die for.......

Next time, I am going to try using Coconut Oil for the shortening, or at

least part of it, and honey instead of sugar or maybe sugar and some

molasses. Anyway this recipe is great!

After sharing it with my family I hope to get a few pieces tucked away in

the freezer:-))

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Hi, Topper!

I made two of the cakes and served portions to friends who have a

problem with constipation. All six of them reported " great results " a day

later or so. The cake was pronounced to be " Great tasting and good for

you! Who could ask for more than that? " , so you now have the approval of

the BBSCC, Bonnie Baker Senior Citizens Club!

Yes, I printed out the recipe on index cards and gave a copy of it

to everyone who had a piece of the cake. I left the nuts out because so

many of us have problems with Diverticulosis, but added both white and

brown raisins. Marvelous! We all opted to " top " the cake with apple sauce

and cinnamon.

Wonderful news to hear, Dianne.... I found the recipe during a search for

more ways of using oatmeal and bananas other than plain ole muffins...

this household is now unanimous for the Banana Oatmeal cupcakes....

They freeze great, BTW.... so you can make a batch and freeze them, then

just eat one a day for medicinal purposes... I like them plain.. no nuts

or raisins or topping... I think they taste great.. very moist...

Without getting graphic.... they work so well for balancing the plumbing

that it even reduces the amount of tissue needed... if you get my

meaning...

Hi, Topper!

I made a double batch of the recipe yesterday just so I could make

cupcakes of this cake recipe. These things are wonderful when still warm

out of the oven. Hmmm... Treat 'em like muffins and put real butter on

them. To die for! Now I have them frozen and waiting for me in a bin in

my freezer so I can grab one whenever I want to.

I just put the raisins in there when I made the cake up for my

friends. I do not need raisins to help me in that department, in fact,

they make things worse. The fiber and bulk from the oatmeal and bananas

has really slowed down my " Surgically Induced IBS " situation. My system is

working just fine now!

You are right about the tissue usage, too!

Thanks again, dear friend!

Here you go, Shirley. Straight from a text file on my desktop.

Grease 9 X 13 baking pan

Preheat oven to 350

Mix in large bowl with spoon:

1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (4 medium)

3/4 cup sugar

2/3 cup vegie oil (make sure not soy oil)

2/3 cup butter milk (can sub 1 tblsp wht vinegar plus regular milk to

make 2/3 cup)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 large egg

Mix in:

1 1/3 cups flour

1 cup quick-cooking or regular oats (oatmeal)

2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Optional to add (I didn't have these, so I skipped)

2/3 cups chopped nuts

2/3 cup raisins

Pour batter in pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out

clean. Cool completely.

They then list a frosting to go with it... but this was just great on

it's own... no need to add the extra calories. IMHO

Here it is again... a copy/paste of the last one I sent out... hehehehehe

For those that missed the first posting of this... it seems that the

oatmeal banana combination of this cake is not only great tasting but has

been doing wonders to balance the plumbing in folks....

Topper ()

Original recipe calls for 9 X 13 pan... I also made a batch as cupcakes,

it made 21 (I didn't put in the raisins and nuts, with those it might

make an even 2 dozen) Grease 9 X 13 baking pan or the muffin tins.

Preheat oven to 350

Mix in large bowl with spoon:

1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (4 medium)

3/4 cup sugar

2/3 cup vegie oil (make sure not soy oil)

2/3 cup butter milk (can sub 1 tblsp wht vinegar plus regular milk to

make 2/3 cup)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 large egg

Mix in:

1 1/3 cups flour

1 cup quick-cooking or regular oats (oatmeal)

2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Optional to add (I didn't have these, so I skipped)

2/3 cups chopped nuts

2/3 cup raisins

Pour batter in pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes for 9 X 13, 18 to 20 minutes

for cupcakes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

Isn't it just great when your body starts doing things the way that it's

supposed to???? That's why I just had to share what I found... I knew

I wasn't the only one that would find it of value!

It's not a bad effect... So far they've unplugged those that are

constipated and slowed down those that are loose... For me.... it's made

me every morning comfy regular... How to describe that.... Ummmmm....

Okay, get up in the morning and pretty much we all have to empty our

bladders... Just a normal thing, Empty... then go on with your

morning.... Well.... My bowels empty that regularly now.... No cramping,

no straining... Just empty, get up... and go on with my day...

Considering when I was at my hypo worst I was lucky to go once every ten

days... It required a commitment of time to be in there... and it was a

physical marathon akin to giving birth... I consider this a MAJOR

improvement! That's not to say I wasn't vastly improved my getting my

meds up to a good level....but this seems to have been that final tweak

to make it better..... Still, I'd not have been talking about it here had

it not been for the other two folks in this house hold proclaiming the

same result. No.... we don't all sit around here talking about our bowel

habits.... But it seems none of us had been doing as well as we'd

liked... and when the subject came up with the opening line " did you

notice anything different after eating that cake you made yesterday? "

Well, I decided that it wasn't just me. AND when the extra bananas were

purchased a couple of days later so that I could do the cupcakes.... AND

when I went down to the freezer yesterday and the cupcakes were nearly

gone... I see that I'm not the only one having one daily! hehehehehe

You won't believe this... My doctor's office left a message on my machine

this evening while I was out. " Dianne, please provide Dr. K with a copy of

the recipe for the cake that you shared with the BBSCC senior group. He

dislikes prescribing laxatives and that cake recipe is a good way to get

some of our seniors and others with digestive problems to eat what is good

for them in a form that tastes really good. " LOL! I will drop a copy off

at the office in the morning when I pick up the mail.

The message after that one was from my friend Bessie. " Dianne? Can you

get me some more copies of that cake recipe? " Oh yeah! I guess it will be

all over this area by tomorrow afternoon!

Dianne

[Guest guest]

That is awesome!!!

See, See.... it pays to share... if I had not started talking about how

this silly cake made our potty trips better in this house... none of you

guys would have known... and would not have passed it on......

Share stuff gang, share stuff... you never know what little tidbit you

find will help other folks.....

You're terrible!!!! I had to read what I'd written twice to see what you

It's not a laxative cake, though... it's helped to regulate a couple of

folks that have had 'frequency' issues (as in too much, too often, too

soon)....
