Equipment
- 1 loaf baking tin
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 250 grams rolled oats
- 50 grams mixed nuts (slightly toasted in a frying pan and roughly chopped)
- 40 grams dried cranberries or raisins (soaked in hot water for 10 minutes and then roughly chopped)
- 2 medium-size bananas (mashed for sweetness)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (for flax egg)
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tbsp hot water (for flax egg)
- 150 grams vegan yogurt
Instructions
Prepare flax eggs:
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of hot water.
- Stir well and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to thicken and form a gel-like consistency. These are your flax eggs.
Preheat oven and prepare the loaf tin:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a loaf baking tin with parchment paper and set aside.
Prepare wet ingredients:
- In a bowl, mash 2 medium-size bananas until smooth.
- In a larger mixing bowl, add vegan yogurt. Then, add the mashed bananas to the bowl and mix them well until fully incorporated.
- Next, add the prepared flax eggs to the large bowl containing the banana and yogurt mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Combine wet and dry ingredients:
- Add the oats to the mixing bowl containing the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Then, add the salt, baking soda, and baking powder to the bowl. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- Now, add the soaked cranberries to the mixture, reserving some for topping the cake later.
- Roughly chop the toasted mixed nuts and add them to the mixing bowl as well, saving a portion for topping.
- Gently fold all the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.
Transfer to baking tin:
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased or lined loaf baking tin, spreading it out evenly to ensure even baking.
- Next, sprinkle the reserved cranberries and nuts on top of the batter. This will not only add extra texture but also enhance the appearance of the cake.
Bake:
- Place the baking tin in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve:
- Once baked, remove the oatmeal cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
- Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Serve slices of the Vegan Healthy Oatmeal Cake as a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack option.
- Enjoy your homemade Vegan Healthy Oatmeal Cake!
