Now I have made cake, but I have never made a breakfast cake. This is like a better version of oatmeal almost. Decided to try this one morning when I woke up a bit earlier than my boyfriend. He got to awake to a tasty breakfast - he loved this! I just wish I could remember the blog I found the original recipe from! It originally had no agave nectar or cinnamon - I just added those for a little extra sweet and flavor.
Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cake
2 cups non-instant oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, beat (or egg replacer for 1 egg)
1 mashed banana
1 sliced banana
1 1/2 cups milk of your choice (I used almond)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp agave nectar
Brown sugar
Optional:
1 tsbp or so ground flax seed
Cinnamon
Peheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mash 1 banana then combine with the rest of the wet ingredients. Mix wet ingredients in with the dry.
Coat a pie pan with vegetable shortening (your cake will stick to it otherwise!). Put 1/2 of the sliced banana on the bottom of the pan, pour in your mixture, then decorate the top with the other 1/2 of the banana.
Cook the cake for 26 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle brown sugar all over the top. Broil the cake for 3-4 minutes or until the sugar starts to bubble and brown.

This disappears pretty fast whenever I make it now! It's a keeper recipe for sure.
