- Yields:
-
5-10 cake slices
- Serves:
- 1-5
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup canned corn (can be replaced with boiled sweet potato or pumkin)
- 4 tablespoons 100% apple juice
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup instant oats
- 1 banana
- 1 handful walnuts
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄2 tablespoon cinnamon (replace with ground cardemom)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (optional)
directions
- Preheat the oven to 200 celsius / 395 fahrenheit.
- Rinse the corn in cold water 2-3 times and drain.
- Puree corn, apple juice and 1 egg until smooth. The puree will smell strongly of corn, but don't worry. The cake won't taste like this.
- In a blender, whisk egg whites until very stiff. Meanwhile, transfer the corn to a bowl and add oats.
- Add baking powder, vanilla and spices to the corn/oat mixture and stir very well. The dough will have a thick oatmeal-like texture. If you want, you can add 1 tsp of peanut butter for extra flavour.
- Cut the banana into coins and each coin into approximately 6 pieces. Chop the walnuts.
- Add banana and walnuts to the corn/oat mixture.
- Use a big flat spoon and scoop an amount equal of 4 tablespoons of the very stiff egg whites into the corn/oat mixture and stir until even.
- Add the corn/oat mixture to the remaining egg whites, but DON'T STIR UNTIL EVEN.
- Just mix lightly. There will be puffs of egg white here and there.
- Add baking sheets to a 10x20 square baking tray or any other equally sized heat resistant tray you may have in handy.
- Pour the thick mixture into the tray and bake for 15 minutes.
- Done! Your fluffy, spicy, moist, sweet, delicious and incredibly healthy cake is ready!

They are moist and tasty, turned out a lot like most oat-based low-fat cookies I've tried. I'm not sure if it was supposed to raise like a cake, but I didn't have any luck there. Topped them with a couple dollops of fat-free cool whip.
