Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
  • 3 Tbsp honey* (or 3–4 Tbsp dark brown sugar as substitute)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp butter or coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cake evenly.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Place all ingredients except 1/4 of the oats into a blender or bowl. Blend or process until smooth. Stir in the reserved 1/4 cup oats gently to add texture to the batter.
  3. Prepare Baking Pan: Line a smaller-sized baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and pour the batter evenly into the pan.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool after baking. For best flavor and texture, refrigerate the sliced cake in an airtight container for at least one hour before serving. Enjoy it as a healthy breakfast or a tasty dessert.

Notes

  • Honey can be substituted with 3-4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar if needed. Taste the batter first to adjust sweetness according to your preference.
  • Using a smaller baking pan results in a fluffier, thicker cake, as noted in the recipe variations.
  • Storing the cake in the fridge for at least an hour improves flavor and texture, making it moist and more enjoyable.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be adapted with other fruits or spices as desired.
