Banana Oat Chocolate Cake with Espresso Glaze

Prepare the oats:
In a bowl, combine the oat flakes with warm water. Let it soak for 10 minutes until the oats soften.
Make the batter:
In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, cocoa powder, baking powder, and vanillin or vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Combine ingredients:
Once the oats have softened, add them to the banana mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking tin. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the espresso glaze:
While the cake is baking, mix the powdered sugar and espresso coffee in a small bowl until smooth.
Cool and glaze:
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the espresso glaze over the top of the cake before serving.
