Eggless Wheat-oats banana cake

I think I just baked the very famous gulgule recipe. Gulgule is very famous in MP. They are sweet pakoda made up of wheat,jaggery,coconut,milk and fennel seeds which gives it unique taste.
I had some overripe banana so thought of making healthy cake,no sugar,no APF and little butter/oil. Something I had in mind like I have to use oats,wheat,jaggery. Wheat and jaggery the first thing comes in mind is gulgule (I love them so much but they are deep fried so avoid making).So I added wheat,jaggery,coconut  in banana cake to give gulgule flavor.Other thing which makes gulgule so tasty is fennel seeds,so added fennel seeds as well.
 I was so afraid that its going to be a disaster,but when we tasted,it was just awesome. In each byte a new flavor and you can eat as much as you want ,its full of nutrients.
First I called  it  'half an half oats banana cake' ,see the measurements you will know it.



Ingredients:
1/2 cup wheat flour + 1/2 cup oats  -flour
1/2 cup dates + 1/2 cup jaggery      -Sweetness
1/2 cup grated coconut + 1/2 cup chopped walnuts  -nuts
2 tbsp oil + 2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp baking soda + 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup curd + 1/2 cup milk (+ as needed)
2 small bananas
Few drops of vanilla/rose essence.(I used rose essence)
1/4 tsp of fennel seeds(optional but try it once)

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 200 degree C.
2. Add yogurt ,baking powder and baking soda. Mix to remove all the lumps and to form creamy texture.Leave mix for 5 minutes.Later you will see bubble formation as shown below.
 

3.  Heat butter in a pan and add jaggery and chopped dates. Add 1/2 cup milk to this.Press dates using spoon.Cook until jaggery melts and dates get softer.It may take 2 to 3 min,then keep  aside and let it cool.
4.  Add this jaggery,dates mixture  and rose essence/vanilla essence to curd mix. Whisk well to avoid any lumps.
5. Mix  wheat flour and oats.Add flour mix slowly to wet mix (step 4) .Mix well.Add  milk if needed.

6. Then add mashed banana,coconut and chopped walnuts and fennel seeds. Mix them so that they combine well.
