Fruity, Oaty Mini Cake Bites
- 120 grams butter
- 120 grams sugar
- 2 eggs
- 120 grams flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams rolled oats
- 50-75 grams frozen summer berries
- 1 handful of flaked almonds
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius. Generously grease the cups in a cupcake/ muffin tray (depending on how generous you are when portioning the batter later, you might need multiple trays).
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, with a tablespoon of the flour to avoid curdling, mixing thoroughly after the addition of each egg.
- Add the rest of the flour and fold in gently. Add the vanilla extract and fold in gently.
- Add the oats and fold gently. Add the frozen summer berries and, again, fold it all gently until the oats and berries are evenly distributed.
- Using a large serving spoon (or an ice cream scoop!) put the batter into the cupcake/ muffin tray's cups. You want the batter to come about half way up the cup. Sprinkle on a few flaked almonds on the top of each cake (patting them down a little).
- Put the cupcake/ muffin tray (or trays if you had enough batter to fill more than one) into the oven for 20-25 minutes until the tops of the cakes are golden.
- When done, take the trays out of the oven and leave to cool for about 10 minutes. Then use a knife or a spatula to go round the edges of each cake and remove each cake from its cup (they normally pop out pretty easily for me). Leave to cool completely for a few minutes or, if you're like me, consume while still warm and soft.
