How to Make Chocolate Oat Bran Cake Diabetic

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup oat bran, 1/2 cup water, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup oil, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon chocolate extract, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
  3. Let the batter rest for 30-45 minutes. This allows the oat bran to absorb the liquid, resulting in a moister cake.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
