Time 1h5m

Yield 12 snack cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Cooking spray
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 large egg
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar* (See Cook's Note)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan with a foil strip long enough to overhang on 2 opposite sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk the butter, egg, brown sugar and applesauce in a large bowl until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until barely mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan. Bake until the cake is light brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Use the foil overhang to lift the cake out of the pan and let cool completely on the rack. Invert onto a plate and peel the foil off. Re-invert the cake onto a cutting board, cut into 12 pieces and serve.

CHOCOLATE OAT CAKES (SCOTLAND)



Chocolate Oat Cakes (Scotland) image

These are our take on the classic British digestive biscuit. We added chocolate to highlight the richness of the oats, and hazelnuts for texture and crunch. We love that they aren't too sweet, making them the perfect match for afternoon tea. Baking them in muffin tins gives them a gorgeous tea-cake shape, but they're also delicious as drop cookies.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield about 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup hazelnuts, finely chopped
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup rolled old-fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 mini muffin tins with mini muffin liners, or set out 20 mini muffin liners on a baking sheet. Lightly spray liners with nonstick spray and sprinkle the hazelnuts into the bottom of each muffin liner.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa, wheat germ, oats, spices and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar in another bowl until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks and beat together. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Scoop a tablespoon of dough (about 3/4 ounce) into the mini muffin tins or liners, on top of the nuts. (Alternatively, drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and top with chopped nuts.) Bake until the cookies are cooked through and nuts are toasty, about 15 minutes (drop cookies will bake slightly faster). Transfer cookies to a rack to cool. Serve.
