Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Servings: 8
  • Cuisine: Healthy / Breakfast / Snack
  • Course: Cake
  • Calories: Approx. 180 kcal per serving

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (90 g) oat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) plain yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 medium apple (peeled and grated)
  • 50 g nuts (such as walnuts or almonds, chopped, amount to taste)
  • 50 g blueberries or raisins
  • 1 tablespoon (20 g) honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the oat flour and baking powder thoroughly.
  3. Add the yogurt and egg to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth, uniform batter forms.
  4. Peel and grate the apple, then fold it into the batter.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped nuts and blueberries or raisins.
  6. Stir in the honey to sweeten the mixture naturally and mix until evenly combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Start checking doneness at 35 minutes by inserting a toothpick or skewer; it should come out clean when done.
  9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Allow the cake to cool completely for the best texture before slicing and serving.

Recipe Notes

  • Use a sharp apple grater to get fine shreds that blend well into the batter for moistness.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake—mix just until combined.
  • Check the cake’s doneness early to prevent drying out; oat flour can make baked goods dry if overbaked.
  • Adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract can enhance flavor without adding sugar.
