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.
Ahh. Just this morning I made the Boatmeal with applesauce and crasins. So good! The best part is that as I was running around trying to get ready to leave the house, my oatmeal was baking away with no need for me to babysit it or look at it at all!
Thanks so much for introducing me to baked oatmeal! Good luck with the blog changes…computers can be so tempermental.
So many people think baking is time-consuming just because it takes a long time! So weird, right? I mean, it’s not like you have to watch the thing while it bakes… but I wouldn’t blame anyone who wanted to, just to see how pretty it was ;).
I had vegan chocolate coconut oat bran this morning topped with a vegan chocolate coconut oat bran cake/muffin (not sure whether to call it a cake or a muffin just yet…)
Woah, that definitely sounds worthy of some hugs!
Not a vegan, but I love vegan food. It makes me feel healthy :).
Love the mini cake idea!

These look so good!
I love the katie dummy! I hugged my cat (and I hope it counts if the cat is living).
Have I eaten anything vegan lately? Does the dark chocolate I’m eating now count? 😛 Oh wait I made a quinoa casserole last night which was vegan. 🙂 Love the sound of the cinnamon roll boatmeal!
Hug-Something-Vegan entry will be coming soon – I wanna make Mama Pea’s Vegan Cookie Dough Balls! <3
You had me at cookie. I’m so excited to see your cookieliciousness :).
following you on twitter! i eat a lot of things that are vegan even though i’m not! sooo good!
Okay, not only does that look delicious, it looks mighty kid-friendly too. And that’s a wonderful thing when you’ve got a picky toddler at home like I do! Great job!
