These delightful treats have a soft, tender crumb that harks back to old-fashioned snack cakes from the grocery store. For little kids: Let them dump the ingredients into the mixing bowls, whisk together the dry ingredients and stir in the chocolate chips. For big kids: Let them measure out the ingredients, spray the baking pan with cooking spray and help spread the batter in the baking pan.

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.

HIGH-FIBER LOW-FAT OATMEAL CAKES



High-Fiber Low-Fat Oatmeal Cakes image

I am training for a marathon, so I am very big on energy-type bars, but my college-studentness keeps my budget at a minimum. These are high in fiber and low in fat, so they are a perfect substitute for my Power Bars! (These are sort of hard to form into patties, so you may have to add more milk. I'm not much of a cook, so improvements are probably needed!)

This is one of our favorite camping recipes. It's so easy to prepare the night before, and you can fix it multiple ways! Leave the flour out and microwave each individual serving, bake it as a breakfast casserole, or put it in a slow cooker overnight. :)

Tips:

1. Use Quality Oats: Opt for whole grain oats or rolled oats for a nutritious and flavorful base. 2. Infuse Flavor: Enhance the taste by adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract to the batter. 3. Sweeten Naturally: Use maple syrup, honey, or ripe bananas for natural sweetness instead of refined sugar. 4. Add Fruits and Nuts: Incorporate fresh or dried fruits, nuts, and seeds for added texture and flavor. 5. Adjust Consistency: Add more or less milk or water to achieve the desired consistency of the batter. 6. Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined to prevent gluten development and a dense texture. 7. Cook Evenly: Ensure even cooking by spreading the batter evenly in the pan and adjusting the heat as needed. 8. Flip Carefully: Wait until the edges of the cakes are set and bubbles form on the surface before flipping to avoid breaking them. 9.
