Description

This Healthy Breakfast Oatmeal Apple Cake is a nutritious and delicious way to start your day. Packed with wholesome oats, fresh apple, and natural sweetness from honey, it’s a perfect breakfast or dessert option that’s moist, flavorful, and easy to make. The cake features warm cinnamon spice and a tender crumb, baked to perfection for a comforting treat that keeps well when refrigerated.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
  • 3 tbsp honey (or 3-4 tbsp dark brown sugar as an alternative)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to get it ready for baking the cake.
  2. Prepare the Batter: Place all ingredients except 1/4 cup of the oats into a blender or bowl if using a hand blender. Use only 3/4 of the oats initially. Blend or process until the mixture is smooth. Then gently fold in the remaining 1/4 cup of oats to add texture to the batter.
  3. Prepare Baking Pan: Line a small-sized baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the lined baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  5. Cool and Store: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, slice the cake and store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Cooling enhances the flavor and texture of the cake.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the oatmeal apple cake chilled or at room temperature as a healthy breakfast or a delicious dessert.

Notes

  • If you don’t have honey or maple syrup, dark brown sugar (3-4 tbsp) can be used as a substitute. Be sure to do a quick taste test to adjust sweetness according to your preference.
  • Using a smaller baking pan may result in a fluffier cake, as it affects the cake’s thickness and baking time.
  • Make sure to peel and chop the apple finely for an even texture within the cake.
  • Refrigerating the cake before serving really improves its taste and firmness.
