Oatmeal Cakes

As a working mom I am always looking for recipes I can eat on the go, particularly in the morning. There has been a lot of cereal consumed these last few months since it is easy and fast in the AM, but it gets boring after awhile and I can't take it with me very easily.

A friend posted a link on Facebook the other night to these oatmeal cakes. (They came from this blog)  I tried them out and they turned out great! Fairly healthy too. Since we only had 3 bananas hanging around, I modified the recipe to make less. I also didn't want 25 of them hanging around.

Ingredients:

Wet-
3 ripe bananas
5 Tbsp agave (or just squirt in as much as you like, that's what I did) you could also use honey
2 cups water
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (could also use vegetable oil)
2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry-
3 cups Old Fashioned Oats
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
3 tsp ground flax seed

1. Preheat Oven to 380 degrees.
2. Mix dry and wet ingredients separately. Stir wet very well.
3. Mix wet into dry, stirring very well.
4. Bake for 21 minutes.

They turn out kind of spongy, not hard, which I liked. It made them easier and faster to eat than a granola bar. You can also add in other things you like-raisins, dried cherries, nuts, etc. The sky is the limit with these yummy breakfast cakes!

Happy baking!
