Ingredients
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 180°C (350°F) to ensure it is ready when your batter is mixed.
- Prepare Batter: Place all the ingredients except for 1/4 cup of oats into a blender or use a hand blender in a bowl, but only use 3/4 cup of the oats initially. Process until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Then, gently fold in the remaining 1/4 cup of oats to add texture.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Line a small-sized baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is fully baked.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely. Slice into servings and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least one hour. The cake’s flavor improves as it cools. Enjoy it as a wholesome breakfast or a nourishing dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar if desired.
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut yogurt and coconut oil instead of butter and regular yogurt.
- Adding a handful of chopped nuts or raisins can add extra texture and flavor to the cake.
- Make sure to cool the cake completely before slicing for best texture and flavor development.
- This cake keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days and also freezes nicely for longer storage.
