Healthy Oatmeal Banana Apple Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• Oatmeal (Rolled or Quick Oats): 1 cup (90-100 g)
• Milk (Any kind): 150 ml ($approx 2/3$ cup)
• Bananas: 2 large
• Eggs: 2 large
• Vanilla Sugar: 1 tablespoon (15 g) – Optional: Substitute with 1 tsp vanilla extract + 1 tbsp erythritol or stevia for true sugar-free.
• Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon (15 g)
• Raisins: 4 tablespoons ($approx 60$ g)
• Apple: 1 medium

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your easy diet cake.

Step 1: Prep the Wet Ingredients & Oats

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F) and lightly grease or line a small loaf pan or a 6-inch (15 cm) round baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, mash the 2 bananas thoroughly until they form a smooth paste.
3. Whisk in the 2 eggs and 150 ml of milk until well combined.
4. Stir in the 1 cup of oatmeal and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb some of the moisture, resulting in a softer final texture.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

1. Add the 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar (or your sugar substitute) to the banana-oat mixture. Mix well.
2. Fold in the 4 tablespoons of raisins.

Step 3: Add the Apple

1. Peel and finely grate or chop the 1 apple. Grating makes the apple pieces almost disappear into the batter, adding pure moisture and flavor.
2. Gently fold the grated or chopped apple into the cake batter until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Bake Your Healthy Cake

1. Pour the cake batter into your prepared pan.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes.
3. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack.

Why This Oatmeal Cake is a Healthy Choice

This healthy cake recipe is a powerhouse of nutrition, making it a great addition to a balanced diet:

• High in Fiber: The base of oatmeal and the addition of apple and raisins provide a significant amount of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes satiety, helping you feel fuller for longer.
• Natural Sweeteners: By relying heavily on the sweetness of bananas and apples, this recipe drastically cuts down on refined sugars compared to traditional cakes.
• Sustained Energy: Oats are a complex carbohydrate, meaning they release energy slowly. This helps stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing the energy crash often associated with sugary snacks, making it an ideal breakfast cake.
