So its world baking day today and I almost forgot. I missed PB&J day and choc chip cookie day, I just couldn’t miss world baking day as well! So I rooted around in my cupboards last night and made this. This cake is kinda like a cakey granola bar, its great for breakfast with a glass of orange juice, or a big mug of coffee, it will certainly get your day of baking off to a good start! Just don’t tell my Mum I used all her muesli….. she probably wont notice.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups muesli
1/3 cup stone ground oatmeal
2tsp mixed spice
1/2 tsp ginger
1tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup Apple juice
1/2 cup chunky Apple sauce
2tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup whole flaxseeds
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raisins
Method:
preheat the oven to 180c/350f and grease and line a 9″ round cake tin.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the muesli, flour, oatmeal, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl mix the Apple juice with the ground flaxseed, then add the Apple sauce, oil and vanilla.
Mix the wet into the dry and fold in the raisins, flaxseed and sunflower seeds. Scoop into the cake tin and press in with your finger tips until you have an even layer, then smooth over with the back of a spoon. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes until firm to the touch and golden brown on top.

Yikes, so many cooking holidays I missed! 😉 This cake looks beautiful!
I miss all the good ones! And thank you 🙂
I dare say your mum won’t notice, just tell her that my chooks got hungry after I raided their seed bowl…SOMEONE had to feed the poor things! 😉 (just don’t mention that I live in Australia or the game is up! 😉 )

Great idea to put muesli in a cake – mmm, mmm, good!
A great way to use up the cheap n’ nasty muesli my Mum insists on buying…..
MMMM,…Alexander! This muesli cake rocks my taste buds! Ooh yeah!
I am in love with this idea. I made an oatmeal breakfast cookie with apple sauce but I want to pack more of a nutrition punch. I will defiantly be trying this!
Oatmeal breakfast cookies sound yummy! Let me knoe how this cake works out for you 🙂
I love this recipe and by now my collegues as well 🙂 would it be ok for you if I place the recipe (modified to muesli cupcakes) in an ebook which some german and swiss vegan doing this weekend at a ‘Vegan Twitter summer meeting’ to collect donation for the animal sanctuary ‘Hof Stellichte’ in northern Germany? Would be great. Thanks in advance
