Chocolate Oatmeal Snack Cake image

I would make this for my daughters as an afterschool treat. It produces a moist, dense, delicious cake. Since it's baked in a 9x9 pan, there's not a whole lot of cake around to tempt me for too long! Make your own frosting or use store-bought. Or simply dust it powdered sugar!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cakes will be.
  • Use old-fashioned oats. Old-fashioned oats will give your cakes a heartier texture than quick oats.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your cakes tough.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that your cakes are cooked through.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use chopped nuts, raisins, or dried fruit instead.
  • These cakes are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal chocolate snack cakes are a delicious and easy treat that kids of all ages will love. They're made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or dessert, give these cakes a try!
