microwave apple chestnut oatmeal bake

i'm really loving these single serving microwave baked goods.  here's another really tasty, quick and easy addition i came up with this morning.

fresh and hot out of the microwave.  cakey, dense, mildly buttery and mapley.

topped off with melting earth balance buttery spread and drippy warm honey.  mmmm. 

these were almost like consistency of a thick, soft oatmeal cookie meets a warm, bready muffin.  in other words, they were crazy good.  dense and chewy with warm cooked pieces of apple and buttery, mapley chestnut flavor.  so quick and easy, too.  i'm talking breakfast in minutes, guys.  it's legit.  see for yourself!

microwave apple chestnut oatmeal bake

makes one serving

• about 1.5 oz soft tofu (about half of a normal "serving size" on most blocks of tofu)
• 1/2 banana
• about 1/4 cup chestnuts (around 8 whole chestnuts or so, preshelled and precooked and all that.  a lot of markets have them available ready to eat in jars)
• 1 eggwhite
• 1/4 ts baking powder
• 2 ts flaxmeal
• 1/4 ts fenugreek
• dash of nutmeg
• 1/4 ts stevia (optional if you'd like something more like a muffin and less like a breakfast bread)
• 1/4 fresh apple finely chopped
• 1 T rolled oats or quick oats

throw all ingredients except the apple and oats into your blender/food processor and blend until smooth.  pour into a bowl and mix in the little, bitty apple chunks and oats.  pour batter into a microwave safe container/tupperware/ramekin/bowl that has been lightly greased or sprayed with cooking spray.  cover with a paper towel and microwave for about 2.5-3 minutes or until cooked all the way through.  top with whatever you'd like!  i was definitely a big fan of the buttery spread with honey...but, fruit preserves, apple butter, or maple syrup would be amazing on this as well...as would nut butter, raisins and cinnamon.  oh so many options, oh so many breakfasts to come.

goodnight, everyone!
