Ingredients
- 1 cup oats divided
- 1 large apple peeled and chopped
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Add all ingredients—except 1/4 cup of the oats—into a blender or a bowl (if using a hand blender). Blend until smooth.
- Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of oats by hand to add texture.
- Line a small baking pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture in evenly.
- Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely, then slice. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance flavor.
- Notes
- If you're out of honey or maple syrup, use 3–4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar.
- Taste the batter before baking to adjust sweetness to your liking.
- Use a smaller baking pan for a thicker, more cake-like texture.
