Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 12 Oat Cakes, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups rolled oats
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)
1/2 cup dry sweetener (I use Splenda)
1/2 cup honey (or agave nectar)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg white (or equivalent)
1/2 cup dried fruit, chopped (I use 12 dried apricots)

Steps:

  • Thoroughly grind rolled oats in food processor or blender. Mix with flour and baking powder.
  • In a separate bowl, "cream" together yogurt, dry sweetner, honey and vanilla. In yet another bowl, lightly beat egg white until it gets bubbly but not stiff. Fold egg white into wet ingredients. Add dried fruit.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients. The dough gets pretty stiff and is hard to mix. You may even have to dive in there with your hands and squish it together. Add water if the mixture is too dry. Form into 12 patties.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F for 15 minutes on a non-stick cookie sheet. Cool completely and store in refrigerator. These keep well and may be frozen.

OATCAKES

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 32

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon), for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1/2 cup rolled oats on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until light golden and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool then transfer to a food processor; process until finely ground. Add flour, sugar, coarse salt, and pepper; pulse until combined. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons cold water and pulse until dough just comes together, adding up to an additional tablespoon as needed.
  • Turn dough out onto plastic wrap, shape into a rectangle and wrap in plastic. Chill for 45 minutes. Transfer chilled dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup oats and roll into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut into thirty-two 2 1/2-by-1 1/2-inch rectangles. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. If dough becomes soft, chill for 15 minutes.
  • Arrange bars an-inch apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until golden, 28 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

APRICOT UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Apricot Upside-Down Cake image

Apricot halves, baked in a faux caramel of melted butter, brown sugar and spices, burst with punchy flavor in every bite of this cake. The sticky topping complements the almost-tart, fleshy stone fruit, and offers a textural contrast to the buttery cake. A hint of almond further accentuates the apricot flavor. This rustic beauty is perfect by itself, but you can serve it with whipped cream or ice cream, if you want to be fancy.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons/55 grams unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
Flour, for dusting
1/2 cup/110 grams light or dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
8 medium apricots, rinsed and dried (about 1 pound)
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/55 grams almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup/135 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the topping: Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan or an 8-inch square baking pan. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread the brown sugary mix in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
  • Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Arrange the apricots, flesh-side down, evenly over the bottom of the pan.
  • Prepare the cake batter: Add the flour to a medium bowl. Sift in the almond flour, then use your fingertips to break up any clumps that don't fit through the sieve. Add the baking powder and salt to the bowl and whisk to combine.
  • In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, or in a stand mixer with the paddle attached, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium until combined and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract, then the eggs, one at a time, mixing until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, then 1/2 of the milk, mixing to combine. Continue alternating the additions of flour and milk and mixing, scraping down the sides of the bowl, just until all is combined. (Make sure not to overmix during this step.)
  • Spread the batter in an even layer over the apricot halves. Bake until the cake is set and doesn't jiggle when shaken, is golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove pan from the oven, and place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. With the cake still in the pan, turn the pan over onto a serving platter. Wait 1 minute, then remove the pan. This cake is excellent warm, but it's also delicious at room temperature.

OATCAKES



Oatcakes image

From http://www.bigoven.com/107592-Low-Fat-Apricot-Oat-Cakes-recipe.html, this recipe is a copycat for those dense, hockey-puck-like cakes sold at coffee shops. I had to bake mine longer than the recipe below dictates--the original said 15 minutes, but I baked mine for at least 25. Very healthy and satisfying. They freeze well, too.

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup honey
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg white
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 cup dried fruit (I used dates and used more than 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup granular fructose (or granulated sugar)

Steps:

  • Thoroughly grind rolled oats in food processor or blender.
  • Mix with flour and baking powder.
  • Chop dried fruit into small pieces. You could use apricots, raisins, dates, dried apples, dried cranberries, or anything else you like. (I used dates).
  • In a separate bowl, "cream" together yogurt, fructose, honey, and vanilla.
  • In yet another bowl, lightly beat egg white until it gets bubbly but not stiff.
  • Fold egg white into the wet ingredients. Add dried fruit.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients. The dough gets pretty stiff and is hard to mix. (I had to mix it with my hands.).
  • Form into 12 patties.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F for 25 minutes on non-stick cookie sheet. I flipped mine once halfway through and kind of pressed down on each one with a spatula to add to the hockey-puck look.
  • Cool completely and store in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apricots: The riper the apricots, the sweeter and more flavorful your oat cakes will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the oat cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help the oat cakes hold their shape better.
  • Bake the oat cakes until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Serve the oat cakes warm or at room temperature: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These apricot oat cakes are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for a unique and tasty treat.
