Peanut Butter Snack Cake Recipe
This peanut butter snack cake recipe has a rich, nutty flavor that feels warm and comforting from the first taste. The natural peanut butter gives it a deep roasted note, gently sweetened by maple syrup that adds a light caramel touch.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring scale
- 8-inch square
- Parchment paper
- Oven
Ingredients
- 130 g natural peanut butter no added oil or sugar
- 2 large eggs about 100 g without shell
- 125 g oat flour
- 5 g baking powder 1 teaspoon
- 45 ml almond milk or milk of choice about 45 g
- 3 g salt ½ teaspoon
- 45 g melted coconut oil
- 160 g pure maple syrup
- 5 ml vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Instructions
Get the oven and pan ready
- Start by turning your oven on to 350°F (175°C) so it has time to heat up. While it’s warming, lightly grease an 8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to make lifting the cake out easier later.
Combine the wet ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until the mixture looks smooth and creamy, with no streaks left.
Mix in the dry ingredients
- Add the oat flour, baking powder, and salt to the same bowl. Gently stir until everything is just combined and the batter looks thick and smooth. Avoid over mixing—once it’s blended, stop stirring.
Bake
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Place it in the oven and bake for about 22 to 28 minutes. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let it cool and enjoy
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve as is, or add a drizzle of extra peanut butter on top if you’d like.
Notes
Notes: Make sure the peanut butter is well stirred before measuring. Do not overtake; the cake should remain soft and moist. You can add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for extra flavor.
