Fat Free Vegan Oat Cakes Recipe

One of the reasons we uses fats in cooking is because it makes food taste delicious.

Fat free baking is not the most easiest of tasks in the kitchen but when done correctly fat free baking can taste fantastic.

My fat free oat cakes are so delicious that you will not be able to put them down.

I use old gala apples, raisins, sultanas, clementines and oats for this tasty healthy treat.

Instead of using fat in this oat cake recipe I blend and strain the clementines then simmer them with agave syrup for a short time.

These oaty fat free vegan treats are such a delight to eat and really simple to bake.

You would never believe that these delicious oat cakes contained no fat because the taste is so very good.

When you bite into one of my oat cakes you will sink your teeth into wholesome cooked oats, sweet soft apples and juicy raisins and sultanas. The whole mixture of textures is amazing to taste and the flavours go perfectly with one another.
