My senior Mom and I ate this dessert from Simple Food for breakfast. As I anticipated, it was too chewy to satisfy a cake or brownie craving. I'll post Simple Food's video below so you can see how easy it is to make and why I was so tempted to try it.

Ingredients:
For the Cake --
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup warm milk
2 eggs
a pinch of salt
2 smashed bananas
4 tablespoons of cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
I added 1 scoop of Premier protein chocolate powder to the recipe.
Dark Chocolate and walnuts
We're not in my kitchen today so we didn't have a loaf pan. I used an 9" x 9" square baking pan and surprisingly got more pastry than expected. I used butter flavored cooking spray, and it lifted out cleanly.
After baking, I let dark chocolate chips melt on top of the pastry while we waited for it to cool enough to eat.
Here's my review: If you crave a piece of cake or a brownie, skip this recipe. If you're trying to eat a bowl of oatmeal and want to dress it up, then wait about 40 minutes for it to bake, go for it!
Although we had no problem eating it (we were hungry waiting!), and it was nutrious, I doubt I'll make it again. Either I'll eat a bowl of oatmeal or have a piece of cake. Sometimes you can't have it both ways.
