This simple-to-assemble vegan oat and blueberry breakfast cake makes a satisfying and deliciously sweet breakfast treat.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 medium bananas
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup toasted or raw wheat germ
• 1/2 cup blueberry preserves (see note)
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375º F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with unbleached parchment paper.
2. Put the bananas and maple syrup in a large bowl and mash into a chunky purée using a potato masher or large fork. Add the oats, raisins and wheat germ; stir thoroughly to combine.
3. Spread half of the oat mixture in an even layer in the prepared pan. Spread the blueberry preserves in an even layer over the oat mixture. 
4. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the preserves. 
5. Spread the remaining oat mixture in an even layer over the walnuts and preserves. Bake for 30 to 32 minutes, until slightly golden. 
6. Put the pan on a wire rack and loosen the sides of the cake with a knife. Let cool 15 to 20 minutes (see note). After cooling the cake, invert it onto a wire rack and gently peel off the parchment paper. Carefully flip the cake, topside up, onto a decorative platter for serving.
7. Cut into 6 wedges to serve.

Notes

You may use apricot, blueberry or strawberry preserves in place of the raspberry variety.

After cooling the cake, invert it onto a wire rack and gently peel off the parchment paper. Carefully flip the cake, topside up, onto a decorative platter for serving.

Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, leftover cake will keep for 3 days.
