Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Snack Cake

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Snack Cake with Oatmeal and Whole Wheat FlourI am loving this delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Snack Cake! It’s the perfect balance of healthy ingredients and cake…..is that an oxymoron?

I’m always looking for ways to make some of my favorite foods a little healthier, and this snack cake is so delicious you would never guess that the recipe has oatmeal, whole wheat flour and yogurt, along with the vitamin A packed pumpkin.

I had to keep taking one more piece just to make sure it really was as delicious as I thought it was. Mind blown!

The best part is, it is so easy to mix up. You don’t need a mixer, a bowl and a fork or spoon will do the trick. Also, it is very versatile and forgiving, you can do substitutions and adaptations according to what you have on hand. (I gave a few suggestions down in the recipe box)

This may very well be my new go-to fall snack/treat to take to parties or get togethers. It’s delicious and sooooo easy to whip up!

This is a delicious snack you can feel good about giving your kiddos. I used whole wheat flour and yogurt to make this snack healthier, but if you do not have them on hand you will still get amazing results by using white flour and oil or applesauce in place of the yogurt. Sour cream would also be a great replacement alternative for the yogurt in this recipe. Two teaspoons of Pumpkin Pie Spice can be used in place of the cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
