I think we can all agree that oatmeal needs a fresh new take. It's stigmatized as the yucky stuff our parents made us eat as children, which is a little unfair. This version of oatmeal includes fresh fruit, and a delightfully crispy crust with a sweet fruity interior.... did I mention it was healthy? One of these delicious oatmeal cakes, 3 turkey sausage links, and 2 eggs are only 375 calories. I know from experience, this is a good start to your day.
Serving size: 12 cakes
INGREDIENTS
5 fresh peaches peeled and diced
2 tablespoons of peach preserves
1 large egg
2 1/4 cups of old fashioned oats
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 whole nutmeg
3 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 cups whole milk
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a cupcake pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl whisk together oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt. In another large bowl combine egg, maple syrup, milk, vanilla, coconut oil, and peach preserves. Set aside 1/4 cup of peaches, pouring the remaining peaches into the wet ingredients. Gently work the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula then fold the batter until its completely and evenly combined. Spoon 1/4 cup of batter per each section of the cupcake pan. Before baking, top each of the 12 cakes with the remaining 1/4 cup of peaches. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until browned. Garnish with powdered sugar.
