OurBreakfast Lemon, Raspberry & Cream Cheese Oatmeal Cakesare a great make-ahead breakfast or snack for busy mornings.

Perfectly portioned, these convenient oatmeal cakes are packed with cholesterol-lowering oats and fiber-rich raspberries.

Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Whisk 1/4 cup cream cheese, 1 tablespoon jam and 1 teaspoon lemon juice together in a small bowl.

Cover with the remaining batter.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Run a knife around the edges of the muffin cups to release the oatmeal cakes.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

To reheat, microwave 1 oatmeal cake in 30-second intervals until heated through.

Nonstick pans do not require cooking spray.

This also adds a nice touch when serving guests at brunch.

You’re batter will look slightly runny because you are not using flour.

We add low-fat cream cheese so the oatmeal cakes will have a moist, sink-into-your-teeth texture.

However, you might also pair it with a fruit salad like ourPurple Fruit SaladorEasy Fruit Salad.
