For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don't have chia seeds or flaxseed meal, you can omit them, but they add a nice nutritional boost and subtle texture. Make sure the melted butter is not too hot when adding it to the eggs, as it could cook them. The cake is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. A glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice would be a delicious addition to this cake.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, ground chia seeds, and flaxseed meal until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the dry ingredients. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Add the orange juice and zest, then whisk in the melted butter and milk until well combined. (5 minutes)
04
Step
7 mins
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. The batter should be smooth and pourable. If the batter seems too thick, add a touch more milk until it reaches the desired consistency. (7 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. (2 minutes)
06
Step
45 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. (40-50 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then, run a table knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the cake out of the pan and transfer it to a serving plate or cooling rack. (5 minutes)
08
Step
1 hrs
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cake to firm up. (60 minutes)
