Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins

  • Chopped nuts
  • Raisins
  • Dried fruits
  • Dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Blend the Oats: In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they turn into a coarse flour-like consistency.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the blended oats, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
  5. Add Optional Add-Ins: If desired, fold in chopped nuts, raisins, dried fruits, or dark chocolate chips to add texture and flavor.
  6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Baking Time: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup to keep it vegan-friendly if using a vegan yogurt and eggs substitute.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup according to your taste.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free diet.
  • Optional add-ins can be customized based on your preference and dietary restrictions.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
