Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 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 the oven to 180C/350F to prepare for baking the cake.
- Blend Ingredients: Put all ingredients in a blender or bowl for hand blending, using only 3/4 of the oats initially. Blend until smooth.
- Mix Oats: Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of oats into the blended mixture to add texture.
- Prepare Pan: Line a small baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Bake Cake: Pour the batter into the lined pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Store: Let the cake cool completely, then slice and place the slices into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
- Serve: Enjoy the cake chilled as a healthy breakfast or a guilt-free dessert.
Notes
- If honey is unavailable, substitute with 3-4 tbsp dark brown sugar and adjust sweetness by tasting the batter.
- Using a smaller baking pan yields a fluffier cake, as seen in the photos.
- Chilling the cake improves its texture and flavor, so allow adequate cooling time in the fridge before serving.
- You can use butter or coconut oil depending on preference or dietary needs.
