Ingredients
Scale
- 130 g (1 1/2 cups) gluten-free oat flakes
- 240 ml (1 cup) hot water
- 2 large eggs
- 30 g (2 1/2 tbsp) sweetener (such as stevia or your preferred choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Soak the Oats: Place the oat flakes into a mixing bowl and pour hot water over them. Stir gently and let the oats soak for about 5 minutes to soften.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetener, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine: After the oats have soaked and softened, add the egg mixture to the oats. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the oat mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cake is set and the top is slightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before cutting it into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Vegan Version: To make this cake vegan, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg).
- Sweetener Options: You can use your preferred sweetener, such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute. Adjust the amount to suit your sweetness preference.
- Topping Ideas: This cake is delicious on its own, but you can top it with a dollop of yogurt, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
