Sugar Free Oatmeal Cake

This cake tastes really good with a cup of tea. I like to mix in the raisins and nuts instead of sprinkling them on top. I found that they become to dry and over done on top for my taste. I have guessed at the servings as it depends on how you cut it and a lot of the prep time is just letting it sit there.

• Ready In: 1 hr 40 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups low-fat buttermilk
• 1  cup  organic rolled oats
• 1⁄2 cup applesauce (originally ask for 4 ounces, I think thats 1/2 a cup)

• 2  tablespoons sultanas

Directions

1. Combine the buttermilk and rolled oats in a bowl and set aside for 15-20 minutes until the oats have softened.
2. While the buttermilk and oats are standing, pre-heat your oven to 350°f and line a standard baking tin with greaseproof paper.
3. Beat the eggs and add to the oatmeal mix along with the applesauce.
4. If using honey add to wet ingredients.
5. It using Splenda add to dry ingredients.
6. Mix the dry ingredients together, stirring to combine and add to the wet, mixing well.
7. Transfer the solid batter into the prepared baking tin. Using a wooden spoon, spread the batter to even it out.
