O‘ hail the oatmeal!

One of my favorite breakfast ever. Or snack. Even dessert. Oh whatever, it’s just so good!

And now in a form of a cake! Can it get anymore better than this? Instead of slaving over a hot stove for oatmeal or pancakes, bake a cake and have it family style!

Oh please, don’t even forget about drizzles of maple glaze. Its life-changing.

13 Shashi @ RunninSrilankan(dot)com July 2, 2014 at 12:03 PM

Oatmeal in cake form – yup I will take another slice for sure!
Love your use of buttermilk, Kiran – I have made something similar before, but have never thought to use buttermilk! Awesome idea!

14 Kiran July 4, 2014 at 5:57 PM

Shashi — thank you! buttermilk keeps it so moist and lends a delicious flavor 🙂

15 Daniela July 2, 2014 at 6:20 PM

Must try it for our next Sunday brunch.

you hit it out of the park! I avoid oatmeal – it makes me gag.. but a cake – that I can totally do!!

18 Kiran July 9, 2014 at 11:21 PM

Archana — me on the other hand, can’t survive without oatmeal. i can understand the putoff due to texture. Hoping this cake will make you a convert 😉

ps: just a tip — try dry roasting oats and only use rolled oats. Not the instant variety. Rolled/whole oats gives it a much substantive texture and doesn’t break down into a mush.

Hi love this!
This Oatmeal Cake looks so yummy!
And the photos are really nice.

This is a great recipe. I made this over the weekend and it came out wonderful. I subbed some of the ingrdients
used home made yogurt instead of buttermilk
subbed 1 cup of whole wheat pastry flour with almond flour
used ghee instead of coconut oil and reduced it to 1/4 cup

I served it with warm maple syrup and my kids loved it. Thank you for sharing this awesome and healthy recipe.
