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.
Awwww it’s Baby Boats!
🙂 You should put little sails on them.
Hi! I love all these Oatmeal ideas you have. Yum!
I found you on twitter too. 🙂
Twitter is still a bit odd to me as well!

Babies! Aww they always make me smile too. Even the cranky ones :).
These look like the cutest, portable snacks. And, I bet they’re delicious too. I’ll have to bake a couple of them and try them out. Thanks, Katie!
Spending time with friends makes me smile. Chocolate chip cookies, warm from the oven, make me smile. And sunshiney days :).
Okay, so I just finished making the boatmeal cake, except instead of using a ramekin, I used muffin tins, which made about three cakes. It was really good! I put in chocolate chips into the regular recipe and made it like that. It didn’t really keep its shape though because it was so moist. I tried to get it out of the muffin tins which I did put oil on but it didn’t hold together really well. It was delicous in my yogurt bowl and also on the side topped with some peanut butter! Yum!!
Everything I’ve eaten recently has been vegan! 🙂 But last night my friends cooked me an indian feast! And everything was, of course, vegan. It was quite delicious 🙂
Uh, YUMMM!!!! I love cinnamon rolls 🙂 they were one of my fav desserts! Know what would be really good on top? Coconut Butter icing!
I played in a tennis tournament this weekend, and I won against someone I had lost to before! I was playing so well-that made me smile 🙂
Just finished up a study session with tempeh 3 bean chili I slow cooked most of the day (delicious!). Not being the biggest tempeh fan, adding it to spicy slow cooked meals is pretty much the only way it gets into my diet. I also tricked my sister into grabbing a bowl by telling her our dad made chili for dinner. And she thought it was delicious : )
what made me smile?
The Vegan GF Peanut Butter Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies with peanut flour that I just made and posted about. Perhaps the best thing I’ve ever made. Ever.
I also have a recipe up for Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Muffins. The end result LOOKS very similar to yours but I bake them. Not nuke. But I bet I could try that to save time!
Have a super week!
Twitter, yeah, I dont get it either. I follow back 99% of who follows me too.
