Ingredients

  • 1 cup oatmeal (quick oats or rolled oats)
  • 2 medium apples, grated or finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 150g plain yogurt (about ⅔ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional additions:
    • ¼ cup raisins
    • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or almonds
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan, cake pan, or small bundt pan.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and yogurt until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Apples

Fold the grated apples into the egg mixture. The apples will release some juice, which helps keep the cake wonderfully moist.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. If using raisins, nuts, or chia seeds, fold them in now. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

Step 5: Let the Batter Rest

Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. This gives the oats time to absorb some moisture and creates a better texture.

Step 6: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips

  • Add extra cinnamon for a stronger apple-pie flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Enjoy with Greek yogurt or a drizzle of nut butter for added protein.
  • Freeze individual slices for quick breakfasts throughout the week.

This healthy apple oat cake proves that nutritious eating can be simple, satisfying, and absolutely delicious! 🍎🥣✨
