Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup boiling water
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and boiling water. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, honey, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with the softened oats. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

If desired, stir in the chopped nuts and shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your Honey Oatmeal Cake plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey!
