Breakfast Cake with Cinnamon

Who said you can’t eat cake for breakfast? Meet my breakfast cake!

It is made using whole wheat flour, no butter, and very little sugar. Furthermore, it has fruits, nuts, and oats- basically everything you should eat for breakfast!

Now I know that baking a cake in the morning for breakfast seems like such a huge task one has to go through. However, this breakfast cake is nothing like it. The best way around it is to bake it in the night and you can refrigerate it and have it in the morning as per your convenience.

Making the perfect Cinnamon Breakfast Cake

This breakfast cake is like no other. First of all, as I said before, it uses all the major breakfast ingredients- from wheat flour, oats, honey, and dry fruits! Consequently, this cake is super healthy AND probably the most delicious breakfast cake out there.

Also, there are just some basic tips you can remember while baking this cinnamon breakfast cake:

• Please try not to over-mix the fresh fruits. I’ve used fresh pears and peach and you can certainly add even more fruits of your liking. However, overmixing fresh fruits will ruin the fruity flavor and will land you in a mess. This will be in contrast to fresh fruit flavors you will obtain by not over-mixing.
• Similarly, remember to refrigerate the crumb topping. It is a delicate mixture and refrigeration certainly helps the ingredients to hold together.

Above all, you are a novice at baking, you can always refer to the Baking tips for Beginners blog on the website to know more!
