This hearty cake tastes like a muffin, and can be enjoyed as a special occasion breakfast or even for dessert. If you have a nut allergy, you can omit almond flour and use all white whole wheat flour. To make it dairy free, simply substitute oat milk or a preferred plant-based milk. To make it gluten-free, try oat flour. Enjoy!
