Bubbie’s Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cake

I recently attended a small dinner party where I was asked to bring dessert. I’ve been watching my “girlish figure” lately, so I wanted to prepare something that was equally as healthy as it was delicious (not sure this qualifies, but it was worth a shot). I instantly thought of my Bubbie’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake that we eat during the Holiday season. There’s something about the oatmeal that makes the cake super moist and the chocolate chips make it deliciously melty. And let me tell you, it was a huge hit.
