Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and allow it to fully warm to ensure even baking.
- Prepare the Batter: Combine all ingredients except 1/4 cup of oats in a blender or bowl. Process or mix until smooth and well combined, then gently fold in the reserved 1/4 cup of oats to keep some texture in the cake.
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Line a small baking pan with parchment paper, making sure it covers the base and sides completely to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, slice the cake and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use apples with good sweetness like Fuji or Gala for best flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute yogurt and butter with coconut yogurt and coconut oil.
- Honey provides natural sweetness, but maple syrup can be used as an alternative.
- Ensure the cake is fully cooled before slicing for clean pieces.
- This cake keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
