Method
-
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease and line an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with baking paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, sugar, salt, and baking soda.

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and press it into an even layer using the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
-
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centre is firm to the touch.
-
Allow the base to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
-
Spread the vanilla Greek yogurt evenly over the cooled cake.
-
Arrange sliced strawberries and blueberries on top to create a patriotic flag design or any festive Fourth of July pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use plain Greek yogurt instead of vanilla?
Yes, you can use plain Greek yogurt. For added sweetness, consider mixing in a little vanilla extract or a drizzle of honey before spreading it over the cake.
Are there gluten-free options for this recipe?
You can substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for the whole wheat flour and be sure to use certified gluten-free oats. This will yield a similar texture while keeping the cake gluten-free.
Can this breakfast cake be made ahead?
The cake base can be made up to a day in advance and stored covered at room temperature. For best texture, add the yogurt and berries just before serving.
What if I don't have almond milk?
Any unsweetened milk such as dairy milk, oat milk, or soy milk can be used in place of almond milk without affecting the recipe.
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?
While fresh berries give the best appearance and texture, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed and patted dry. They may release more juice, so decorate just before serving.
How do I prevent the base from becoming soggy?
Allow the cake base to cool completely before adding the yogurt and assemble just before serving. This helps preserve the base’s texture and keeps it from absorbing moisture from the topping.
