Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 large apple (peeled and chopped)
- 1 cup oats (divided)
Binding and Moisture Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons yogurt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
Dry and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F, preparing a small baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Combine all ingredients except 1/4 cup of oats in a blender, processing until achieving a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Manually fold the reserved oats into the mixture, creating subtle texture variations throughout the batter.
- Transfer the blended mixture into the prepared pan, ensuring an even distribution for consistent baking.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted centrally emerges completely clean.
- Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool thoroughly at room temperature, which helps stabilize its structure.
- Once completely cooled, slice the cake into individual portions for serving.
- Refrigerate the slices in an airtight container for at least 1 hour before consuming, which enhances the overall flavor profile and allows ingredients to meld together.
Notes
- Customize texture by adjusting oat consistency, blending some fully and keeping some whole for a satisfying crunch.
- Transform into gluten-free version by using certified gluten-free oats and checking ingredient labels carefully.
- Enhance nutritional profile by adding chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or protein powder for extra protein and omega-3s.
- Experiment with seasonal fruit variations like pears, berries, or peaches to keep the recipe exciting and adaptable throughout the year.
