I just realized I missed Pi Day yesterday, 3/14; and it was Albert Einstein's birthday too! I’m not quite the “math geek” though, so I don’t feel too bad for missing it. Maybe reading more news items would’ve helped, but, meh. Did realize and/or celebrate the day? I saw some foodie bloggers celebrated by (shocker!) eating pie.
It's good as is, but a Greek yogurt frosting would really "take the cake" |
What are you looking at? Eat me. |
Extra cinnamon on top looks good and tastes great....nutmeg would be good too. |
Baked Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cake
- 1/2 cup peanut butter overnight oats *(see recipe below….it’s easy!)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 ½ tablespoons NuNaturals NuStevia Baking Blend, 8 – 12 drops liquid stevia, or 1 ½ packets White stevia powder (If you want sugar, use 1 – 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, pumpkin puree, or mashed banana (Plain yogurt works well too)
- 1/4 cup milk of choice or just water will work
- Small dash of salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients together until well incorporated. Pour into one of the muffin molds in a muffin tin, 1-cup ramekin (or use a glass baking dish like I used), or just spread flat on a baking sheet for a crunchy treat. Make sure you use non-stick bake ware or non-stick spray before pouring batter into device of choice. Cook for 25 - 30 minutes; the top should have a nice light brown and the whole cake will feel firm. You can set your oven to broil and let cook about 3 – 4 minutes for a crispier crust; reduce baking time by 5 minutes if you do this.
*Overnight Oats
Pour 2 cups of plain rolled oats in a container with a lid (I use empty yogurt containers to make sure I get the big of yogurt on the sides. Add 1/4 cup of *insert flavor choice here* unsweetened cocoa powder and another 1/4 to 1/2 cup of *insert second add-in or more of the first choice here* flour/powder of your choice. Add 12 – 18 drops of plain or vanilla NuNaturals liquid stevia or 2 – 3 packets of NuNaturals Stevia Powder and a dash of sea salt. Mix the dry ingredients and add water until it reaches the top of the oats. Stir to combine making sure the powders are well incorporated, close the container and let sit in the fridge for at least four hours and up to 5 days; it won’t last that long though.
What happens when you let your spous try a "bite" |
