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. Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare it for baking the cake.
- Blend Ingredients. Place all ingredients in a blender or a bowl for hand blending. Use only 3/4 of the oats initially and blend until smooth. Then, gently fold in the remaining 1/4 cup of oats to add texture.
- Prepare Baking Pan. Line a smaller-sized baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
- Pour Mixture. Transfer the blended batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake Cake. Bake the mixture for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Store. Allow the cake to cool completely. Slice and place the pieces in an airtight container, refrigerate for at least an hour for the flavors to develop and texture to improve.
- Serve. Enjoy the cake chilled or at room temperature for breakfast or dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with 3-4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar; just taste the batter to adjust sweetness as desired.
- Using a smaller baking pan results in a fluffier cake, so adjust pan size based on preferred texture.
- Refrigerating the cake for at least an hour enhances flavor and moistness.
- Peeling the apple prevents any bitterness and creates a smoother texture in the cake.
- Butter or coconut oil can be used interchangeably depending on dietary preference.
