Why have a shake when you can have cake, am I right? I'm not talking just any store-bought cake packed with sugar, white flour, and gobs of frosting, of course. I'm talking about the healthy and delicious homemade version that's packed with nutrient-dense ingredients and a good dose of protein pow!
Washed down with a glass of milk, a square (or two) of this cake makes the perfect midday snack. For extra-easy portability, slice the cake into bars, and pack it up to enjoy at school or the office. It's absolutely sublime alongside a cup of coffee or tea before or after the gym—or whenever you feel like sinking your teeth into a well-deserved sweet treat. (Go on, you deserve it!)
This is a very oat-heavy treat, so if you want a more cake-like texture, feel free to sub the oats with a self-rising, gluten-free flour. If you go that route, just be sure to add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil to your batter to retain the moisture and make this cake so smooth your fork will glide through it with ease.
Enjoy this one, guys. It's quick, easy, and did I mention, delicious?
