This healthy red velvet cake recipe substitutes flour for oats to create a baked oatmeal cake that is bold in flavor but lighter in texture. The cake is the perfect single-serve portion size that is ideal for an individual or two to enjoy.
This small cake is made using beets to give the cake that red velvet coloring along with rolled oats, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cocoa, milk and spices. The mix makes enough batter for one small cake that is perfect if you're looking to make individual desserts or portion control. The cake can be enjoyed as is or topped with a homemade cream cheese frosting made from maple syrup, sugar and spreadable cheese if you're looking for an authentic red velvet cake flavor.
