Here’s why I came up with my healthy oat cake recipe.

Trying to eat clean, cutting out processed food and sugar and avoiding over-eating all go a long way to helping us reach our health and fitness goals. Ideally this would be a long-term eating plan and not just something done for a month or two.

But, what happens when you feel like something tasty to go with a good cup of tea or coffee? Muffins are off the menu, so are coffee cakes. I’ve discovered a solution…

This recipe makes 12 healthy oat cakes. Each one about 133 calories (compare this with an average of 400 calories for a muffin or a scone).

Ingredients

2 cup uncooked, Rolled Oats
3 banana, Bananas
6 date, pitted, Dates – Medjool
2 Scoops, Whey Protein Powder
0.25 of a cup, Dried Cranberries
0.33 cup, European Style Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt

You will need a muffin tray and cupcake liners.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Chop the dates into pieces. Mash bananas into a mixing bowl with a fork then add the remaining ingredients and combine well. Spoon the mix into cupcake liners set in a muffin tray and bake in oven for 15 minutes or until the cakes are firm when pressed

A small handful of almonds can also be added to add more flavor and texture. The dates, bananas and cranberries give it the sweetness needed to satisfy a sweet tooth without having to add any extra sugar at all and you get plenty of fiber too.

Depending on the oats you use, the recipe could also be gluten-free. It certainly doesn’t have any wheat flour.
