Oatmeal-Raisin Snack Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
I tend to go in cycles with my favorite cookies… I’m always up for a good chocolate chip cookie, but I tend to have bursts of cravings for other flavors like oatmeal-raisin, snickerdoodles and peanut butter. I love chewy, nutty texture of oatmeal-raisin cookies and I’m almost able to convince myself that they’re healthy since… oats! This snack cake tastes like a hybrid of a frosted oatmeal-raisin cookie and my great aunt’s famous poor man’s cookies, which is actually a spiced snack cake with raisins and nuts, and topped a boiled frosting.
I’ve always been a huge fan of oatmeal since I was a kid, grabbing those maple brown sugar packets for breakfast from elementary school all the way through college and my first “real” job. Eventually, I started using plain oats and cooking them on the stove, adding in things like apples, raisins, dates, nuts, bananas, and whatever other add-ins I was hungry for on a particular day. I then transitioned to steel cut oats for the increased health benefits, but they do take some extra time to cook and I don’t find them nearly as convenient as the pouches or even the traditional rolled oats on the stovetop.
When Quaker Oats contacted me and asked if I wanted to try their new quick-cooking 3-minute steel cut oats, I was thrilled to give them a try. Being able to make steel cut oats in three minutes versus the typical 30 minutes is awesome, especially since my days of leisurely breakfasts are on hiatus for the unforeseen future. They even have instant steel cut oats pouches in two different flavors – Brown Sugar & Cinnamon and Cranberries & Blueberries.
It didn’t take me long at all to throw these quick-cooking oats into a recipe that’s a hybrid of one of my favorite cookies and one of my favorite old family recipes.

Oatmeal-Raisin Snack Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1½ cups (375 ml) boiling water
- 1½ cups (217.5 g) raisins
- 1 cup (160 g) quick-cooking steel cut oats
- 1â…“ cups (166.67 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
- ½ cup (113.5 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220 g) light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 ounces (226.8 g) cream cheese, cold
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the boiling water, raisins and oats and let sit for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars together on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the oat mixture, then gradually add the flour mixture, beating until just combined. Give the mixture a final stir with a rubber spatula and transfer to the prepared baking pan.
- Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.
- Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium-high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and gradually add the powdered sugar until it is all incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and salt, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat until light and smooth, about 2 minutes. Spread over the cooled cake and serve. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to 4 days.
Notes
Did you make this recipe?
Leave a review below, then snap a picture and tag @thebrowneyedbaker on Instagram so I can see it!
This Oatmeal Raisin Cake w/ cream cheese icing is phenomenal! Followed the recipe exactly and it tastes just like an oatmeal raisin cookie! Cake was super moist and frosting made it rich and delicious! This recipe is a keeper!
Could I bake this in a bundt pan if properly greased and floured?
Hi Cindy, I think you could, but I think you would need to double the recipe to make enough batter for the Bundt pan.
I made this last night. Well sort of. I didn’t have steel cut oats, so I used regular quick cooking oats and used 1/2 cup of finely shredded carrot and 1 cup of raisins. I also left off the frosting. Mighty tasty with my coffee this morning. Next time, I will add some walnuts and maybe incorporate some diced apple into it. :)
I love oatmeal… :)
This oatmeal was so yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
Can I substitute regular quick oats? I do not have steel cut in the house–Love this website! Its my new addiction!
Hi Laura, Yes, you could use quick oats. Enjoy!

I like to make a variation of the Harvest Fruit Bars by adding dried apricots and mangos and chopped Marcona almonds. I started with this recipe: http://www.quakeroats.com/cooking-and-recipe/harvest-fruit-bars.aspx #QuakerUp #SweepsEntry
My new healthy breakfast is steel cut oats with just agave syrup and sliced bananas.
Starting a new, healthy approach to food and fitness before we expand our family! The steel cut oats from Quaker are a super easy way to make a ton of flavor combos for a healthy start to my day! This will definitely keep us on track to a healthy lifestyle for our (hopefully) growing family!!!
Oats are delicious!
I bet these would be really awesome in oatmeal cookies, preferably with raisins AND chocolate chips! :)
My favorite cookie is Oatmeal Chocolate Chip.
Hi Michelle! Joseph David is the cutest! I’m so happy for you, your husband, and those adorable fluff balls named Duke and Einstein. I love brown eyed baker; I get all my inspiration for cupcakes and general baking. Thank you so much! I also love your giveaways, especially this one as I am a fan of Quaker Oats. I’m hoping for those mugs; nothing like a warm cup of tea and a cupcake! Happy Easter!

Oatmeal cookies ^_^
Recipe looks yummy!
My 4-year-old’s normal school-day breakfast is oatmeal with raisins, pumpkin, applesauce, milk, and brown sugar. He’s been eating it most of his solid-foods life and still LOVES it. So healthy — so many food groups! :)
I haven’t had a chance to make it yet, but I have recently printed off a recipe for peanut butter oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips. It sound really good to me.
This cake looks great – pinned it to try one day.
I am going to try substituting the steel cut quick oats for the regular quick oats in my morning breakfast! I LOVE oatmeal and I mix it with cinnamon, flax seeds, brown sugar, raisins and walnuts!
Strawberries and cream oatmeal..a favorite on a cold morning
We LOVE oatmeal here … my four year old’s favorite breakfast! I’m intrigued by quick steel-cut oats … thanks for sharing!
I like to use oats mixed with brown sugar and nuts to use as a topping on my banana and zucchini bread!
I tried the steel cut oats & they were yummy!
I love to add fresh fruit to plain oatmeal! It’s quick, yummy, filling, and gets a fruit serving in.
I love making savory oatmeal to switch up my breakfast routine. Top it with avocado, chili flakes, Parmesan, salt, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, or even a poached egg!
Mmm, I’ve been wanting to try steel-cut oats but have hesitated since they take so long to cook! These fix that problem :) My favorite recipe with oatmeal is kitchen sink cookies :)
I also shared on Twitter.

I love my oatmeal with brown sugar, pecans and a little milk.

Oatmeal raisin bars!
I love steel cut oats and never thought to try using them in baked goods. Thanks for your recipe!

I eat homemade granola every morning made with oats. I use canned pumpkin, peanut (or other nut butter), vanilla, coconut oil, cinnamon, and 3 1/2 cups oats. I also like to add various seeds and nuts. Bake at 300 for 40 minutes. Yum!!
Traditional oatmeal cookies (with or without raisins). #QuakerUp #SweepsEntry

I have been recipe testing with oatmeal and my family couldn’t be happier!
The Oatmeal Snack Cake would be a wonderful afternoon treat! If there were any leftovers they would be gobbled up at breakfast!
Oatmeal Cookies are my favorite cookies and I have more recipes for them than I can count!
But, when I made a Black Bottom Oatmeal Pie — adapted from a recipe by sisters Emily & Melissa Elsen, owners of Four & Twenty Blackbirds Pie Shops, Brooklyn, NY — I may have found the best Oatmeal treat ever.
We love a steaming bowl of oatmeal in the morning and baked oatmeal is delicious, too.
I love oatmeal for breakfast with raisins or prunes and cinnamon and a little brown sugar. Can’t wait to try quick steel oats.

i grew up on oatmeal especially Quaker. Love it then love it now. I will try this recipe.
The first word that grabbed me was oatmeal. The second was cream cheese! Definitely want to try this~ I always have oatmeal for breakfast so this would be an awesome variation. Heh, cake for breakfast ♥
I have a box of Quaker Steel Cut Oats and make a bowl about three mornings a week. I load it up with chia seeds, raisins, coconut sugar and sometimes cream. The 25-30 minute time factor doesn’t bother me. Instant steel cut oats? Dunno……guess I’d be willing to try it.
Love oats with banana, maple syrup and pecans. Looking fwd to trying the quick cook. Thanks for the opportunity!
When I first moved out on my own, I probably ate oatmeal for dinner 5 days out of every week! It was filling, inexpensive, and it gave me an excuse to add chocolate chips into a ‘normal meal’…
First thing I’d make is some no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies! And I’d love to try the 3 min SC oats (I make the 30 min kind regularly; this sounds like magic)!
I love to make oatmeal raisin cookies.
I love overnight oats!
These look amazing! Love raisins. Can’t wait to make them.
Oatmeal with cinnamon and walnuts. Yum!
I love starting the mornings with oatmeal!! I started using oats in place of flour when I run out!
The steel cut oats are the greatest. I cook them very slowly, top with chopped apples and dried raisins/cranberries/blueberries. The entire family loves it.
Old fashioned oatmeal is our usual breakfast during the week, except for Sat and Sundays. Thanks for bringing our attention to the quick steel cut oats. And also for the yummy sounding recipe.
Steel cut oats with walnuts,with some vanilla greek yogurt stirred in for breakfast. Trying to eat healthier,cleaner, and this would work great.
I LOVE oatmeal, especially steel cut oats. If I’m able to cook them in 3 minutes instead of 30. the world just became a better place. I love to add peanut butter and apples to mine or brown sugar and butter.
I love Quaker oatmeal! I have it most mornings with berries on top. I also sneak it into baked things, like banana or pumpkin bread. I just pulse it in the food processor then use it for part of my flour. It makes things dense and moist. Plain oatmeal cookies or oatmeal chocolate chip are favorites at my house; and it’s healthier because it has oatmeal! ;)
I love to use these in our cobbler mix and serve it warm over vanilla bean ice cream, yummy!
oatmeal with nutella and strawberries
I like making my own yogurt with oats with steel cut oats.
I like adding a banana & peanut butter to oatmeal and also using coconut milk and shredded coconut. I like using it in a number of different baking and savory dishes too. It has so many uses!

Oatmeal butterscotch chip cookies!
I wasn’t aware of these new products from Quaker Oats, but that’s great news. This is a lovely tasty recipe, Michelle, and one I will make for sure.
I love a good old fashioned bowl of oat meal any time. But since my boyfriend had to cut wheat from his diet recently I’ve been using oats in tons of baking. I made a really great banana bread the other night. it was almost cake like and perfect with some butter pecan ice cream.
Oatmeal raisin cookies using steel cut oats for a heartier texture would be delicious.
I love oatmeal for breakfast. On busy days I have it on a banana smoothie :)

I love granola with dried fruit and nuts.
I’ve been wanting to try this new product! My husband loves oatmeal for breakfast, with peanut butter and (on special occasions) chocolate chips. So delicious.
Every morning I start my day with healthy oat meal, this cake looks so good
I can’t wait to try it. I have been trying all the overnight oatmeal recipes I found on Face book tooooooooo.
I just bought these oats! Delicious in oatmeal cookies!
Oatmeal is one of my favorite go-to breakfasts! I usually make a cinnamon banana oatmeal. First I add 1/2cup oats into boiling water. After a couple minutes I add in sliced, ripe bananas, raisins, chia seeds, ground flaxmeal, and then finish off with cinnamon at the end. Then, if I’m feeling extra fancy, I’ll decorate the top of my bowl of oatmeal with a variety of fruits and more cinnamon! The riper the bananas, the sweeter the oatmeal will be. :)
We enjoyed making the baked Amish oatmeal all winter. I also love making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I like the recipe from a Rachel Ray employee who uses oatmeal flour in the batter.
I love to make oatmeal cookies and instead of raisins, I add chocolate chips and dried cranberries!
What would be the equivalent of 1-minute oats, if the 3-minute steel cut oats are not available? Also, do you discard the soaking liquid from the oats and raisins? This will be a true winner for my Dad and boyfriend! Thank you for providing such wonderful options and recipes. I can’t wait to make this and many of your other goodies!
i blend dates, quaker whole oats, apple sauce, cinnamon together for a quick ball snack for running/on the go.
I love oatmeal for breakfast or an oatmeal bread recipe I have.
Mix the oatmeal with brown sugar, cinnamon, milk and dried apricots. Yum! #QuakerUp and #SweepsEntry

Oatmeal made a anyway. Love it!
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies would be delicious with those oats! I’m really hoping they start selling them in Canada. Or maybe apple oatmeal cookies with cinnamon chips…hmmm!
I will cook 4-6 servings of steel cut oats at night, put it in the fridge and in the morning all I have to do is microwave it and then I like to put a spoonful of jam in it. Breakfast perfection!

I love maple oatmeal and peanut butter oatmeal cookies. I would love to try these using steel cut oats.
Look forward to trying this recipe.
When I was a kid, my oatmeal always wound up being oatmeal soup – with an overabundance of milk and brown sugar (and sometimes maple syrup, haha). When I’m getting over a cold all these years later, there’s nothing better than some good old oatmeal soup.
I love , love quaker oats in my morning smoothies yummm!!!!
I love oatmeal steeped in water overnight. I get up, stir it up, add whatever kind of fruit I have on hand, and Viola! There you are! Delicious breakfast that will get you through to lunch!
Oatmeal is such comfort food!
Hi, I looked, but did not see a note about using regular steel cut oats. I prefer not to use anything instant. If I use the one cup of regular steel cut oats, would I still use just the 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Thank-you, I am excited to find you, thank-you for your work.

I like making energy bars with three minute steel cut oats.

My favorite recipe with Quaker Oats is a swedish cookie called the lace cookies. It’s super easy, quick and gorgeous!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour baking sheets.
Melt 1/2 butter in medium saucepan. Add 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup white sugar (you can also use brown), 3/4 cup oats, 2 tablespoon light creamrest and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to bubble.
Remove from heat and stir briskly for a few strokes. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls about 4 inches apart on well-greased and floured baking sheet. Bake only 5-6 cookies at a time. Bake for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown.Cool wafers for 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove carefully with spatula and place over rolling pin, glass, or mug so they curl and become firm.
Enjoy :)

This is great timing- I’ve really been craving oatmeal lately!
Sounds delicious!
I’ve never tried steel cut oats before, but I am intrigued by the recipes I’ve seen with ‘overnight’ and ‘slow cooker’ in the directions. Waking up to breakfast…with no work? Sold!
Quaker Oats are the best, steel cut oats are even better, combine the two-Slam Dunk.
Your recipe is one I plan to make this week for an Easter dinner get together with friends. Who doesn’t like oatmeal & raisins? And cream cheese frosting would make a hockey puck taste delicious!
My daughter (16 mo) has been loving these carrot-oatmeal raisin cookies i adapted from Amy’s Healthy Baking–Carrot cake cookies. But oddly, she won’t eat any of my “traditional” baking recipes. Kid doesn’t like sugar. Guess I really shouldn’t be complaining about that.
I agree, oatmeal is the best breakfast! And somehow, it’s also perfect for dessert (Especially cookies). I can’t wait to make these!
If I don’t have steel cut oats on hand, can I just substitute regular old fashioned oats 1:1?
Oatmeal chocolate chip muffins are a classic family recipe in my house. Typical dry ingrediants with the addition of oats, applesauce, and chocolate chips!
I’m so excited to try the new 3-min. steel cut oats. I love steel cut oats for breakfast, but the time issue always gets in the way….unless I mass produce it and warm it up in the morning. I’m also wanting to try it in my Honey Oat Wheat Bread recipe.

We’ve always adored the old-fashioned Lazy Daizy cake, moist and chock-full of hearty oats, with a crunchy brown sugar/walnut/coconut broiled topping. Bet these new instant steel cut oats would work perfectly.
I have a blueberry muffin recipe from my husbands aunt that uses oats softened with oj. Yum. She’s from blueberry country and made them every year after picking wild blueberries.
I love to eat my Oatmeal cold with skim milk. Add oatmeal, walnuts, cranberries, and agave syrup. Yumm!!

Love oatmeal raisin cookies! They are my favorite, so this should be an interesting twist!
I would make oatmeal steel cut in glass jars overnight in the fridge and have my oatmeal fix with blueberries each day..If I remembered to fix it up the night before..It is simple and the oatmeal tastes like heaven on earth and no fuss and no mess in the mornings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My family loves oatmeal and our favorite recipe is the oatmeal raisin cookies.
This looks delicious! I’m going to have to try it this week.
We just had a new baby too recently and with guests coming over so often, this looks like a delicious and easy recipe to serve. Thanks! And anything with oats qualifies as eatable for breakfast too in my books (even if it is cake or cookies lol!) ;-)
The cake looks yummy I want to try to make it soon..Love oatmeal and eat it in everything…Would love to win the giveaway..Happy Passover & Happy Easter tooooo..It is so hot here in the pacific northwest the Tulips are bloomin very early and the daffy’s (daffodils) are nearly spent. we were up on Mt. Vernon and viewed it the tulips, daffys and some Iris plants are starting to peak thru the mud too..It was glorious but cool & tried to rain something we have had little of in the past 7 months! No snowpack either, the farmers, vintners and many others who depend upon snowmelt and rain are gonna be sorely upset as the ski season was a bust tooo…We actually pray for rain in April so the people dependent upon water won’t be jammed up in the coming months!
chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
Love oatmeal!
I’d love to figure out how to mimic those “Little Debbie” oatmeal pie cookies. That’d be so yummY!
This looks amazingly soft and springy! It resembles the baked oatmeal I often make, but with frosting.
As a kid, I loved oatmeal with a bit of butter and a spoon of sugar or honey.
#QuakerUp and #SweepsEntry
I love making baked oatmeal to last the entire week. Lots of different flavor combinations.
I’ve never heard of steel cut oats and now you’ve intrigued me to look for them at the store. I’ve always loved using oats in my chocolate chip cookies and can’t wait to try this recipe, it looks delicious. Thanks for a great give-away opportunity.
Best breakfast: cooked oats, chopped apple, chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts), and raisins. Any left over, chill in refrigerator and add some yogurt for an excellent snack!1
I add ground oatmeal to my smoothies for extra goodness. When we are going to have a busy week, I make oatmeal ahead and leave it in the refrigerator and then a quick zap in the microwave in the AM and we are ready to eat and head out the door. Each person can add their own idea of morning goodness (nuts, raisins, etc.).
Oh! I am making this today!!
Love oatmeal with lots of cinnamon, raisins, seeds and nuts, too!
… And I use oatmeal to make a wonderfully hearty and yummy gluten free bread!!
Thank you!
I am craving my favorite oatmeal toffee cookies. May have to make that for the bake sale this week.
Never had steel cut oats in a cake but sounds like something I’d like to try!
I love oatmeal! It started when I was little and my mom would buy us the Dino egg oatmeal and now I use the quick oats on the stove and add my own ingredients. I would love to try the new steel cut!
I will definitely try the 3 min steel oat, have tried to cook steel oat before but made a mess.
YUM!!
I love oatmeal with fresh blueberries and sliced almonds. I add a smidgen of almond extract to the liquid to make it extra almond-y, and I top it with a bit of honey at the end! So good.
OMG this looks so amazing I can’t wait to make it!
Good morning,
Like you, I have always loved oatmeal and enjoy it for breakfast a lot. I, also, make a lot of oatmeal “treats” for family and friends. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this drawing.

We use Quaker Quick 3-Minute Steel Cut Oats Original #QuakerUp in our meatloaf recipes. Ground beef, ground pork and ground turkey is mixed with oatmeal, seasoning, spices, one egg, a dash of milk, cooked chopped onioins and garlic. Muffin tins for mini loaves are the kids’ favorite. Some like ketchup as a topping while others like salsa. Always a big hit at our house!
Yes- I’m thinking of oatmeal chocolate chips for this recipe! Yummy!!

If you want to use ordinary steel cut oats but have to be somewhere in the morning – like work – you can put your oats and other things (apples, raisins, dates, etc.) into a slow cooker before bed. I like the texture when they are cooked this way.
