Sugar-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Cake: Our Recipe

Oats are a historical staple food that originated a long ways away in the Fertile Crescent. Over time, coming through the Mediterranean, these grains spread throughout Europe and then were carried with colonizers to the Americas. With such a past, and breadth, it’s no wonder that oats are an excellent base for numerous dishes – from hearty oatmeal to sweet pastries.

When the aroma of freshly baked cake wafts through the house, anticipation and hunger arise! For those looking to approach their diet consciously, this hunger doesn’t need to be quelled as our oatmeal chocolate cake recipe is sugar-free. This by no means, the dessert is any less delicious! Thanks to the dates and xylitol we use in this recipe, our chocolate oatmeal cake is still mighty sweet. Plus, its raspberry topping ensures that it has a crunchy, tangy twist.
