  • 1/2 cup canned corn (can be replaced with boiled sweet potato or pumkin)
  • 4 tablespoons 100% apple juice
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup instant oats
  • 1 banana

Recipe

  • 1 preheat the oven to 200 celsius / 395 fahrenheit.
  • 2 rinse the corn in cold water 2-3 times and drain.
  • 3 puree corn, apple juice and 1 egg until smooth. the puree will smell strongly of corn, but don't worry. the cake won't taste like this.
  • 4 in a blender, whisk egg whites until very stiff. meanwhile, transfer the corn to a bowl and add oats.
  • 5 add baking powder, vanilla and spices to the corn/oat mixture and stir very well. the dough will have a thick oatmeal-like texture. if you want, you can add 1 tsp of peanut butter for extra flavour.
  • 6 cut the banana into coins and each coin into approximately 6 pieces. chop the walnuts.
  • 7 add banana and walnuts to the corn/oat mixture.
  • 8 use a big flat spoon and scoop an amount equal of 4 tablespoons of the very stiff egg whites into the corn/oat mixture and stir until even.
  • 9 add the corn/oat mixture to the remaining egg whites, but don't stir until even.
  • 10 just mix lightly. there will be puffs of egg here and there.
  • 11 add baking sheets to a 10x20 square baking tray or any other equally sized heat resistant tray you may have in handy.
  • 12 pour the thick mixture into the tray and bake for 15 minutes.
  • 13 done! your fluffy, spicy, moist, sweet, delicious and incredibly healthy cake is ready!
