Yesterday’s snack:
Two mini boatmeal cakes topped with cinnamon swirl peanut butter!
Recipe: Baked Oatmeal Cake For One
Times the above recipe by two, and you’ll get my snack. Two oatmeal cakes are better than one, right? For the miniatures, all I did differently was use two 1/2-cup ramekins (any oven-safe dish will do) in place of one big dish. The result was two “muffin-sized” oatmeal cakes. This particular flavor was Apple-Cinnamon:
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cakes
(makes 2 muffin-sized cakes)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (50g)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- sweetener, such as 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or 1 to 1 1/2 packs stevia (I omitted, but I’ve cautioned you before about my lack of sweet tooth)
- 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce (60g)
- 1-2 tbsp chopped apple
- 1/4 cup milk of choice or juice or water (decrease to 3 tbsp if adding the optional oil)
- heaping 1/16th tsp salt
- Optional for richness: 1 tbsp oil or nut butter of choice
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine raw oats, spices, applesauce, apple, and liquid. Pour into a small baking pan, loaf pan, 1-cup ramekin, or two 1/2-cup ramekins. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or more until it’s firm. Finally, set your oven to “high broil” for 3 more minutes (or simply just bake longer, but broiling gives it a nice crust). Don’t forget to spray your ramekins first if you want your cakes to pop out.

You could use coconut butter or Healthy Cream Cheese Icing, but I expanded my foodie horizons and tried something new.
Next up in the boatmeal world? I really must try carrot cake. And then maybe gingerbread. Or peanut butter banana, like many of you suggested.
oh Katie…you are making me creative in the most amazing ways. I had an open can of coconut milk… cream already separated. I don’t even drain it anymore, just scoop the cream out of the top. So I threw a huge spoon full of coconut milk cream into my magic bullet (only have that because of you) short cup w/some cinnamon, maple syrup and truvia (stevia) and made the most UH-MAZING icing for my cinnabon boatmeal.
The rest of the coconut milk cream was blended in my tall cup w/thawed strawberries and truvia and is now in ice cube trays in the freezer… I will perfect an “ice cream” that my son will love. Yes, I will. Thank you for teaching me vegan love. I was getting there, but you’ve filled in many of the blanks for me to make it so much easier to stay there. Should I also admit I have a chocolate fudge pie in the refrigerater right now? Probably not. That’s too much. I will share that. Promise. uh… we’ll see.
just made this for dinner (yes i love breakfast for dinner)! made a few little changes with ingredients i had on hand…so delicious! thank you!!
Katie, I love your oatmeal recipes so much, including this, and got inspired to create one of my own! I love apple pie, and this oatmeal made me think of it, so I decided to make your baked oatmeal cake with just the cinnamon and then bake the apples separately to make a deconstructed baked apple pie oatmeal. It was super scrumptious!

Gave your blog many shout-outs…my very small group of followers will probably come over to your blog and not pay any attention to mine, lol. I don’t blame them. 🙂
I couldn’t leave a comment on the post, because I don’t have a google or openid. But here was my comment:
Awww girl, it looks delicious!! I love the topping, especially :). And thank you so much for the sweet words!
I totally just made these, froze them and am giving a big bag to a friend who just had a baby! Whenever I take meals for folks, I make sure to include breakfast the next day… and since I sampled the batch… you know, to make sure it was worthy of a woman who just had a baby… I think they’re going to LOVE breakfast!
Question: can these be made the night before and taken on the go as bfast the next morning? Will they still be good?
This sounds great. I’m going to make it for my 10 month old tomorrow, but is T a teaspoon or tablespoon? I’m assuming Tablespoon, but just wanted to check. Thanks!
Tablespoon is correct.
