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.
Makes an 8 inch square cake
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1.5 cups of buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
For maple glaze:
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
Directions:
- Soak rolled oats with buttermilk for an hour. Once soaked, prepare cake batter.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line cake pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitter with a paddle, beat eggs on medium for a minute. Drizzle in sugars and beat to combine. Add coconut oil and vanilla extract. Beat just until combined.
- Sift dry ingredients in a bowl. With the mixer on low, gradually add dry ingredients and soaked oats. Beat until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Add batter into lined cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until tooth-pick inserted in the center, comes out clean.
- Using the parchment paper, lift cake out of the cake pan and allow to completely cool on a cooling rack.
- Once cake cools, combine glaze ingredients in a bowl. Drizzle all over to your hearts content.
Off to snack, over a cake. Totally legit, right?

Angie — you make the most delicious breakfast baked goods my dear 🙂
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!
Shashi — thank you! buttermilk keeps it so moist and lends a delicious flavor 🙂
I could have this any time of the day, no restrictions please, it’s too good 🙂
Must try it for our next Sunday brunch.

Daniela — no restrictions when it comes to oatmeal in cake! Please do let me know how it tastes. Enjoy! xo
you hit it out of the park! I avoid oatmeal – it makes me gag.. but a cake – that I can totally do!!
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.
