From C&J Nutrition [1]
Ingredients
- Raspberry Jam Layer
3 cups frozen and thawed raspberries
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup chia seeds
- Oatcake
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, divided
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 large eggs
4 large egg whites
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or rub with oil.
- Blend the raspberries and honey in a blender or food processor until pureed, scraping down sides as needed, about 1 minute. Stir in chia seeds and set aside.
- Blend 1 cup of the oats in a blender or food processor until ground down to flour, about 45 seconds.
- In a large bowl, stir the oat flour, remaining 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder together to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, bananas, peanut butter, and coconut oil. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Gently stir in chopped peanuts.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Gently spread the raspberry jam over top. Pour the remaining half of the batter over the jam layer. Bake until firm, with a golden top, about 75 minutes. Allow to cool before slicing. Slice into 8 even pieces. Eat one bar for today's breakfast.
