How Do You Make Oatmeal Cake For Breakfast?
Making oatmeal cake for breakfast is a lot simpler than you might think. All you need are a few key ingredients, a high speed blender, and an oven. My oatmeal cake contains oats that have been blended with some sort of liquid, a sweetener, a leavening agent, and spices. You can also add all kinds of add-ins to customize the flavor, which is exactly what I did by adding the frozen wild blueberries into the batter for this oatmeal cake.
Once you have a nice batter consistency, all you have to do is pour your batter into an oven safe dish and then pop the oatmeal cake in the oven to bake. Once it has cooled, you can serve it up with whatever you’d like. I personally enjoy peanut butter and pure maple syrup on top of mine, as well as some fresh fruit. However, the posibillities are endless, and you can really customize your oatmeal cake to fit your perferences.
Now that we have covered a few quick things to note, let’s take a look at the list of ingredients you’ll need to make this blueberry banana baked oatmeal cake.
Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal Cake – Ingredients
- Quick Cooking Oats – The first essential ingredient you will need to make this delicious and simple baked blueberry banana breakfast cake is the quick cooking oats. The oats serve as the main dry base for this delicious breakfast.
- Ripe Banana – The ripe banana adds moisture and natural sweetness to your baked breakfast cake. It is an essential ingredient that you definitely don’t want to omit. If your banana peel is yellow with brown spots, it is perfect to use for this recipe, as the banana will be extra sweet.
- Frozen Blueberries – The frozen blueberries are another ingredient that adds moisture, sweetness, and color to this oatmeal cake. I used frozen wild blueberries for this recipe, and they worked perfectly. Wild blueberries are smaller than typical blueberries, so you get a nice and even distribution of berries throughout the batter. You can use whichever berries you have on hand or enjoy moist.
- Baking Powder – The baking powder is the key leavening agent used in this recipe to help your oatmeal cake rise. Make sure you don’t forget it so that you end up with a nice and fluffy baked oatmeal cake.
- Cinnamon – The cinnamon adds a nice bit of spice to this oatmeal cake recipe. I really enjoy using it in baked goods, and this blueberry banana breakfast cake is no exception.
- Water – The water is necessary to help this oatmeal mixture come together and form the perfect batter consistency. It is the key liquid used in this recipe.
- Creamy Peanut Butter – The creamy peanut butter is used as the key topping for this blueberry banana breakfast cake. You guys know that no oatmeal recipe of mine is complete without some sort of nut butter. For this recipe, I used peanut butter. You can sub whichever allergy friendly nut or seed butter you’d like.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup is an optional topping that you can add to your oatmeal cake for additional moisture and sweetness.
