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

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) and allow it to fully warm to ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the Batter: Combine all ingredients except 1/4 cup of oats in a blender or bowl. Process until smooth to achieve a creamy batter. Then gently fold in the reserved oats to add texture and heartiness to the cake.
  3. Prepare the Baking Pan: Line a small baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides completely to prevent the cake from sticking during baking.
  4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating that the cake is fully cooked.
  5. Cool and Store: Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, slice the cake and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least one hour to set and enhance its flavors before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute unsalted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • The honey adds natural sweetness; adjust according to your taste or use maple syrup for variation.
  • This cake is best served chilled after refrigeration but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, ensure the rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
