In one of my attempts to make baked oatmeal I ended up with this fluffy oat cake instead which is to die for. Everyone that tried this cake loved it, so I’d say it’s definitely worth a try. It is mildly sweet so if you want yours sweeter put more sugar in. Here it is. The one in the picture below was from when I divided the batter in two and baked it in a lasagna dish so it turned out quite shallow. I also served mine with blueberries… I just have to add berries in pretty much everything I eat. They’re just too good!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups rolled oats *
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder *
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 cup oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk or milk of choice
*Opt for gluten free if diagnosed with coeliac disease
Topping:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Method:
- Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together.
- Grease a loaf or a cake tin.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
- Pour the mixture into the a small loaf tin and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
- Place in a cold oven (weird yes but otherwise it seems to turn out dense). Turn oven on to 175C and bake for 50-60 minutes or until cooked through. You can test by inserting a toothpick. If it comes out clean the cake is done.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
