Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Lightly grease 2 x 150ml ramekins with oil.
- Add all the ingredients, except the raisins the those for the decoration, to a high-powered food processor and blend until smooth and no whole oats are visible. Mix in the raisins and divide between the 2 ramekins. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden, risen and only a few crumbs stick to a skewer when inserted into the middle. Leave to cool for 10 mins.
- For the cross, mix the yogurt-alternative, maple syrup and cinnamon together until smooth, then spoon over the top of the cakes in a cross shape. Alternatively, drizzle all over and serve immediately.
- Tip: Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free too.
