Oatmeal Coconut Breakfast Cake

November 29, 2015 By Jenae Leave a Comment

Oatmeal Coconut Breakfast Cake



 

This cake is to die for.  Seriously.  I first had this cake at a little coffee shop called Inxpot in Keystone, Colorado (where our family vacations every summer).  After a little bit of research, we learned that it comes from the Breadworks Bakery in Boulder.  I found a nearly identical recipe online but it is clearly intended for professional bakeries, as all of the ingredients are measured in ounces.  🙂  It took some time, but I was able to successfully convert the quantities of ingredients into something that most of us can bake with!

Make this Oatmeal Coconut Breakfast Cake once…and I guarantee you will be making it again.  It is so delicious and my kids love it too!  Even though it is called a breakfast cake, it really is more like dessert and can be served any time of day!

3.  Add vanilla and 1 egg to the butter mixture.  I stumbled upon this vanilla bean paste and it is amazing!  Next, add the oats to the butter mixture as well.

4.  In a separate bowl, mix 2 1/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
