Raspberry Chocolate Oat Cake

This post is in partnership with Bob's Red Mill.  As always, all opinions are 
100% my own.  Thank you for supporting brands that make Me and My Pink Mixer
possible.

Today I bring you a healthy treat made with some of my favorite ingredients - gluten-free
rolled oats, dark chocolate and fresh raspberries.

Raspberry Chocolate Oat Cake




















Those of you who are regular readers or follow me on Instagram know my love for oats
runs deep.  I'm all about oatmeal for breakfast or a late night snack, but I thought why
not for dessert too?  Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Whole Grain Rolled Oats are my favorite.


A single serving of Bob's rolled oats provides all of the USDA's recommendation for
three 16-gram servings of whole grain food each day.  They are so healthy and delicious!
I use rolled oats daily in smoothies, granola and my Perfect Morning Oats.

My recipe for Raspberry Chocolate Oat Cake is super easy and calls for basic ingredients
that you probably already have on hand.  A large mixing bowl and a wooden spoon are all
you need to combine rolled oats, yogurt, an egg, baking soda, baking powder, coconut sugar
and vanilla into a healthy sweet treat.

Baking the cake in a springform pan makes for easy removal, but you can certainly use a
regular cake pan if you don't have a springform pan.

Adding dark chocolate chips on top was the best idea ever.  You get a bite of
chewy oats and chocolate in every bite!  The hardest part is waiting for it to cool
before slicing into the cake!

Topped with fresh raspberries, this healthy treat is perfect for a snack, dessert or even
breakfast!
