Description
This soft and chewy diabetic-friendly cake tastes just like classic oatmeal cookies but in cake form. It’s made with simple pantry staples like oats, peanut butter, and a sugar substitute instead of regular sugar. The texture is moist, slightly chewy, and melts in your mouth with the very first bite. Perfect for anyone looking for a quick, healthier dessert option without compromising flavor. Best of all, it takes only 5 minutes to prepare!
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar substitute (erythritol or stevia blend)
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (as needed for texture)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a small baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, melted butter, sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Add oats, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until fully combined.
- If the batter feels too thick, add milk gradually until you get a soft, spreadable consistency.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the top is lightly golden.
- Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm for a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Tips
- Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar for best diabetic-friendly results.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon.
- You can mix in a few sugar-free chocolate chips if desired.
- Do not overbake — it stays soft and chewy when slightly underbaked.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
