Baked Oat Cake
Thanks to my kids, I was shown this new TikTok craze. These breakfast cakes are mixed in a blender and baked in a ramekin, creating this amazing cake-like breakfast that is healthy. There are so many variations you can create using basic pantry ingredients. Those of you looking for a gluten-free breakfast option, try this. I’m sharing my family’s favorite version- chocolate chips, banana and peanut butter. Slightly sweet and delicious!
Tips:
Here’s another variation that looks and smells amazing- a Baked Betty Apple version. Blend: 1 egg, 1/2 cup oats, 1 tablespoon apple sauce, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, pinch salt, pinch cinnamon. Then top with diced apple before baking as the recipe states below.
This can be microwaved too, which is great for the kids to do themselves. Just pop it in the microwave for 90 seconds to 2 minutes.
