Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup oats (120 g)
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) honey
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) yogurt
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter or coconut oil
Spices and Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare a blender or hand blender to create a smooth, flourless oatmeal apple cake.
- Transform most of the oats into a silky puree by blending them with the remaining ingredients until achieving a uniform consistency.
- Gently fold the reserved portion of whole oats into the blended mixture, introducing a delightful textural contrast to the cake batter.
- Prepare a small baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring easy removal of the cake after baking.
- Carefully transfer the oat and apple batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to create a uniform thickness.
- Place the pan in a preheated oven set to 180°C (350°F), allowing the cake to bake until a toothpick emerges clean when inserted into the center.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, allowing the flavors to settle and the texture to firm up.
- Once cooled, slice the cake into portions and transfer to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour to enhance its flavor and texture, making it an ideal choice for a nutritious breakfast or satisfying dessert.
Notes
- Whip up this quick, nutrient-packed cake in just one blender for minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.
- Perfect for health-conscious breakfast lovers seeking a gluten-free, naturally sweetened morning treat.
- Cooling the cake in the refrigerator develops deeper, richer flavors and creates a delightfully dense texture.
- Store slices in an airtight container for up to 5 days, making meal prep and grab-and-go breakfasts super convenient.
- Customize your cake by adding cinnamon, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra excitement and personal flair.
- Ensure smooth blending by adding liquid ingredients first, followed by softer ingredients, then oats for optimal consistency.
