Blueberry Vanilla Breakfast Cake

Imagine eating a big hunk of cake for breakfast! This is it! This cake is dense, moist and filling (and healthy!). I pretty much took the ingredients for 4 healthy breakfast servings and made cake. Yummy! It isn't super sweet, so if you  like things sweeter, add some additional sweetener of your choice. I like it because it is quick to make and very portable for breakfast on-the-go.

Blueberry Vanilla Breakfast Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

In a large bowl, mix together:

2 cups quick cooking oats
1 tsp baking soda
2 packets Splenda (or equivalent preferred sweetener)
Cinnamon, one tsp (if desired)

In a small bowl beat together:

4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

In a shaker mix up :

2 cups water
4 scoops vanilla whey protein

Add egg mixture and protein shake to oats and mix well.

Stir in:

1 1/2 cups blueberries (I used frozen)

Spray an 8X8 baking dish with cooking spray. Pour in mixture and stir around alittle to evenly distribute the berries. bake 35-45 minutes (when center is firm/knife comes out clean it is done). Cut into 4 squares and enjoy :)

One serving is equivalent to having 1/2 cup oatmeal, one scoop whey protein, one whole egg and about 1/3c blueberries. Each serving is approximately 45 grams carbohydrates, 3-5 grams fat, and 30 grams protein.
