Oatmeal snack cake.

November 11, 2014 milabassett 3 Comments

Healthy oatmeal snack cakeHere is a recipe for a delicious and healthy snack cake. It is a good example of snack breads and muffins that I bake on a regular basis, with the goal of making them nutritious, tasty and lower on calories. Snacks=mini meals, and for the most part I try to keep our meals healthy, and splurge on desserts.

This snack cake is originally from Ann from On Sutton Place. It is her mother’s recipe, and I am sure it is delicious as written. However, I adapted it to suit our needs, and have been making it this way since then. I hope you try it, either the original or the “snack” version! It makes great breakfast too.Oatmeal snack cake

Ingredients

1 c. uncooked oats (I use old fashioned)

1 1/3 c. boiling water

1/2 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. white sugar

1/3 c. butter softened

2 eggs

1 1/2 c. flour

1 t. baking soda

1 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. salt (cut in half if you use salted butter)

Instructions


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl pour the boiling water over the 1 c. oatmeal. Stir and let cool.

3. In a large bowl mix the sugars, butter and eggs until fluffy. Add flour, soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix well.

4. Add oat mixture and mix until combined.

Pour into 9 x 13 prepared pan.

Bake 35 – 40 min. until knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool before slicing.

This snack cake keeps well for a few days covered, at room temperature.

    Isn’t it delicious, Mila? It’s so good that it’s dangerous for me to have around! I could eat the entire thing 🙂
