Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together unsweetened milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Blend rolled oats into a fine flour and combine with baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  4. Mash bananas in a medium bowl until smooth.
  5. Cream softened butter and coconut sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Mix eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture until combined.
  7. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the sour milk.
  8. Fold in mashed bananas gently to maintain the batter's fluffiness.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and tap to remove air bubbles.
  10. Bake for 45 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  11. Cool the cake in the pan for about one hour before frosting (if desired).
