Oatmeal Cake… for One!
It’s like eating a giant oatmeal cookie, all by yourself!
You might worry that oatmeal cake won’t keep you full like a big bowl of hot oats, but guess what: This cake is so dense and so filling!
For Thanksgiving, I posted this recipe: Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal.
Afterwards, I made a mental note to try out other flavor variations. And since St. Patrick’s Day is not Thanksgiving (What? Really?), yesterday was the perfect time to try the following:
With St. Paddy recipes zooming through my mind, thoughts of boatmeal crashed into thoughts of Irish Soda Bread. Thus, the birth of Irish Soda Boatmeal! (Boatmeal = baked oatmeal.)
“Irish Soda” Oatmeal Cake
(Single-Serving!)
- 1/2 cup oats (50g)
- sweetener, such as 1 and 1/2T agave or 1 pack stevia (I omitted, but I’ve cautioned y’all before about my lack of sweet tooth.)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (50-60g)
- 1/4 cup milk, creamer, juice, or water (I used 60g water)
- heaping 1/16th tsp salt (or less, if you add vegan butter)
- a bit over 1/8 tsp baking soda (This is just for the “Irish soda” flavor)
- handful raisins (I used 1T)
- Optional: 1/4 tsp caraway seeds (I did use them.)
- Unless you enjoy the taste of fat-free baked goods, you can add 1-2T vegan butter (or oil or even nut butter!). If you use oil, scale liquid back to 3T.
Preheat oven to 385 degrees. Combine dry ingredients, then add wet. Pour into a small baking pan, loaf pan, or 1-cup ramekin. Or you can use two 1/2-cup ramekins for baby oatmeal cakes.
Cook for 20 minutes, or until firm. Finally, set your oven to “high broil” for 3 more minutes, or until desired crispy-ness is reached (or simply just bake longer, but broiling gives it a nice crust).
I also have a non-baked version of Irish Soda Oats, but I don’t think I’ll have time to post it before St. Patrick’s Day. So if you want it beforehand, just let me know in the comment section and I’ll give you a quick outline of the recipe.
Pancakes, cookies, granola…
Do you ever eat oats in ways other than hot cereal?

katie,
i have just recently turned vegan last thursday! its easy but also at the same time difficult for me…i LOVE your oatmeal breakfests 🙂 i am a senior at high school and at first when i told my friends i was going vegan most of them said its a stupid idea and to” have fun drinking water cuz that pretty much all i can eat” so i made everyone your secret peanut butter cookies and they LOVED them!:D now most of them love the fact that im vegan! the hardest parts for me are probably in the evening since my parents arent vegan its hard to make myself a fulling dinner that will hold me off till tomorrow morning. any meals you suggest that are easy to make? and also do you take any protein pills or daily supplements?
p.s.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RECIPIES ALREADY! you should come out with a cook book i would buy it in a heart beat:)
Hi Lizzy,
I do take a vegan DHA pill (Minami) as well as a B12 pill just to be safe. As long as you get enough calories to meet your energy needs, you’re probably getting enough protein :).
As for meals, many of the recipes I use are listed here: https://lett-trim.today/chocolate-covered-recipes/non-dessert-recipes/%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> There are many others that I still need to post someday!
OMG. That looks fantastic. I am so ready to make this for breakfast sometime next week!
Ohhhhhhh man… Am currently eating this and it is to DIE for! I made mine with raisins, cinnamon and pumpkin butter; delish!! Thank you for the recipe. Love your blog!
Irish Soda Bread has neither Caraway seeds or sugar. Occasionally it has raisins, but more often not.
Americans think they know Ireland and Irish cuisine.
I made this recipe for breakfast — OMG!! I used maple syrup, golden raisins and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. Everything else was as stated. Tomorrow, I will add 2 tbsp broken walnuts to the mix. I have a hard time to swallow my bowl of oatmeal [childhood trauma :)], but baking it and then broiling a nice crispy crust, gives it a whole new texture and flavor. Thank you, thank you!!
Oops…… I’m back with a correction. I didn’t put in the caraway seeds.
I am IN LOVE with this site! Amazing. Had the one minute chocolate cake last night, irish soda boatmeal this morning. Just fantastic.
I’m eating this right now (made w/o the sweetener) and it’s delicious!! Katie, I love all your recipes. Thank you.
is this slow cooked oats or instant oats? 🙂
Good Morning Katie-Choco covered!!!
Than you for your fresh ideas that are healthy, fun and sound so yummy!
I’m looking for a healthy replacement to my old “Jiffy”mix oatmeal muffins.
We are really watching and limiting sugar-please help-TU
I’m developing a taste for eating oatmeal but always in a hurry in the am
Thank you for all YOU do.
