Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 Tbsp yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180C/350F to ensure it’s ready for baking the cake.
- Prepare Batter: Place all ingredients except 1/4 cup of the oats into a blender or bowl for hand blending. Use only 3/4 cup of oats initially. Blend or process until the mixture is smooth, then gently fold in the remaining 1/4 cup of oats to add some texture.
- Line Baking Pan: Line a smaller-sized baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the cake after baking.
- Bake Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Store: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool. Once cooled, slice the cake and store the slices in an airtight container in the fridge for at least one hour, which enhances the flavor and texture.
- Serve: Enjoy the cake chilled, perfect for breakfast or as a healthy dessert option.
Notes
- If you don’t have honey or maple syrup, substitute with 3-4 Tbsp dark brown sugar but adjust sweetness to taste before baking.
- Using a smaller baking pan results in a fluffier texture as seen in photos.
- Cooling the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour improves the texture and flavor.
