Lemon Chia Blueberry Oat Cake

Good morning, breakfast enthusiasts and lovers of all things bright and zesty! Today, we're embarking on a delightful journey into the world of this Lemon Chia Blueberry Oat Cake. This is a gluten-free and vegan breakfast sensation that's about to become your new morning obsession. 🍋💙

How to Make Oat Flour

Instead of the usual rolled oats, I transformed oats into oat flour by blending my oats for a minute or so. Once you have your oat flour, it creates more of a cake like texture when mixed and baked! I usually make a batch of a few cups and store it for other recipes, like my single serve baked oats (I love a good single serve too)!

Flavor & Nutrition of Lemon, Poppy, and Chia Seeds

Picture this: a luscious blend of oat flour, kissed by the zest and juice of vibrant lemons. It adds a zing that's like a ray of sunshine on your taste buds. But we're not stopping there; we're sprinkling in some poppy seeds for a playful, delightful crunch. Also, lemon and poppy seeds go SO well together!

But here's the kicker – we're not just bringing in flavor; we're also loading up on those healthy omega-3 fatty acids with a generous helping of chia seeds. It's the poppy seed look and the omega-3 goodness all in one! You won't be able to tell and it makes it look like there are even more poppy seeds. Sneaky omega-3 fatty acids!

Oat Cake Perfect for Meal Prep

Wanna know the best part of this oat cake? It's perfect for meal prep. It's a hearty, nutritious way to kickstart your day, ensuring you have a satisfying breakfast waiting for you every morning. I usually make a batch Sunday night and have it the entire week!
