If you have 5 minutes to add a few ingredients to a blender, you will have a delicious honey walnut oat cake for breakfast or dessert. This is what all my breakfast dreams are made of and a recipe I make for my family very often. This recipe is a great way to serve the kids " cake " a little more often and feel good about it. You can absolutely make this nut-free or plant-based so please read over mt notes below. If you make it vegan please let me know in the comments how it was and what you did differently.

Notes
Please note: let it cool, you know it’s ready when there’s no “ jiggle “ in the center. If you are vegan you are more than welcome to leave out the egg or replace with 1/4 cup of mashed banana. Apple sauce should work as well. Feel free to leave out the walnuts if you are allergic to nuts. Berries or chocolate chips would be lovely as well. If you want to triple it or make a big batch of this you definitely can as I have had friends on my page bake it into a small cake instead. My ramekin is about 8oz.

Such a simple and delicious recipe to throw together that I make it 2-3 times a week! Sometimes I add blueberries and/or raspberries for a little twist and it’s delightful! Thank for sharing!
Hi Stacey, thank you so much for trusting me with this recipe 🙂
I just made this and it is so good! Would love to see the nutrition for this wonderful cake.
Soooooo happy. I don’t count but please feel free to plug in the ingredients into an app such as my fitness pal 🙂
I’m sorry but a small baking dish is not enough information. Could you please be more specific?
Hi there,
Absolutely. So sorry that I didn’t clarify ( I will fix the recipe description as it’s an old one ) I used a small ramekin which is about 6 oz. Ramekins work best for this recipe
