Now I'm that person that hates cooking, so anything that I can do to limit the amount of time in the kitchen, the better, and I despise cooking in the morning. From that, I decided that I needed to prepare my breakfasts in advance, and this is where I created this recipe. Now this recipe has the texture and look of cake, but it has none of the bad elements that cause weight gain and health issues. It is not a cake however, and I am labeling it as baked oats, a recipe that is full of all the goodies that you need in a healthy balanced diet.

* If you don't have access to oat flour, or you find oat flour too expensive, you can make your own by grinding up the desired amount of rolled oats in a blender.
** If you don't have access to quinoa flour, or you find quinoa flour too expensive, you can make your own by grinding up the desired amount of quinoa in a blender. Always rise the quinoa before use as this removes the bitter taste.
