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 get it ready for baking the cake.
- Prepare Batter: Place all the ingredients into a blender or use a hand blender in a bowl, but add only three-quarters of the oats at this stage. Blend or process until smooth to create the batter, then fold in the remaining quarter of the oats gently to add texture.
- Prepare Pan: Line a smaller-sized baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and pour the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake: Bake the mixture for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool down after baking. Slice and store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least one hour. The flavor improves as it cools, making it perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Notes
- If you do not have honey or maple syrup, you can substitute with 3-4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar. Be sure to taste the batter beforehand to adjust sweetness to your preference.
- Using a smaller baking pan results in a fluffier cake as it bakes thicker; adjust baking time if you use a different-sized pan.
- Chilling the cake enhances its flavor and texture, so it’s best served after refrigeration.
- You can use either butter or coconut oil depending on your preference or dietary requirements.
