Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats (200 g)
  • 1 cup grated apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (120 ml)
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (120 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (5 g)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (2 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5 g)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, 75 g) Optional ingredient

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated apples, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. If you’re using nuts, fold them in gently at this stage.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, cool the cake slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve warm or cooled. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup, or serve with yogurt. Can be customized by adding spices, different fruits, or making it nut-free.
