RECIPE BY @FLOURISHEDBYNATURE
These baked oats are inspired by the warming flavors of fall and taste like dessert for breakfast! They are vegan, and can be made gluten free.
INGREDIENTS
- PUMPKIN SPICE OAT CAKE
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup plant milk
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp date syrup (or any liquid sweetener)
- 1 heaped tsp pumpkin spice (or 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp all spice)
- 1 shot espresso + 1 tsp date syrup
- VANILLA CREAM LAYER
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup plant yoghurt
- 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese (or 1 tbsp cashew butter)
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- cacao powder, for dusting
METHOD
- Place all your oat cake ingredients in a blender and blend until it turns into a smooth and lump-free batter.
- Place the mixture in a ramekin and bake for 20 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix all your vanilla cream layer ingredients until smooth and creamy. Place in the fridge to let it thicken and cool.
- Once the oats have finished baking, let it cool for 10 minutes. Use a wooden skewer and poke tiny holes into the oats.
- Pour espresso on top, making sure that all parts of the oat cake are covered. Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours to let it cool and to let the cake absorb the espresso completely.
- Transfer the oat cake into your favourite Coconut Bowls, and place all your vanilla cream layer on top. Flattening and smoothening the top as you go.
- Dust with cacao powder, serve, and enjoy!
