Ingredients
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 4 cups coconut milk (see Recipe Notes for alternatives)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (optional) or lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or other sweetener as desired)
- 3/32 teaspoon stevia extract (or other sweetener as desired--see Recipe Notes)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 eggs (or egg substitute--see Recipe Notes)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup nuts (optional)
- 1 cup fresh or dried fruit (optional)
- cinnamon "sugar" (optional - for topping--see my post on Healthier Cinnamon "Sugar")
Instructions
- Mix oats, milk, and sweetener(s) in a large bowl. Combine well.
- If soaking to remove phytates, add acid medium (apple cider vinegar or lemon juice).
- Soak either overnight (for a more baked oatmeal-type dish) or for at least 24 hours (for an Oatmeal Cake) at room temperature. Make sure to read the instructions about How to Soak Grains.
- Add remaining ingredients, saving baking powder and egg substitute (if using) until last.
- Mix well.
- If using nuts and/or dried or fresh fruit, put half of the nuts and fruit in the bottom of a greased 8x8 square baking dish.
- Pour the batter onto the nuts and fruit (or directly into the prepared dish if not using the nuts and fruit).
- Top with the remaining nuts and/or fruit if desired.
- Top with cinnamon sugar if desired.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the middle of the cake is set.
- Serve either warm, with additional cinnamon sugar, nuts, fruit and milk, whipped cream or yogurt. Alternatively, eat at room temperature like a regular cake.
- Store in the refrigerator in a closed container or freeze for a longer shelf life.
