Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 fresh apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent (dissolved in 2 tbsp almond milk)
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples and Oats: Peel and dice the fresh apples into small pieces. Soak the rolled oats in almond milk for about 10 minutes to soften while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and chopped walnuts. This dry mixture will form the base of the cake’s texture.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together plant-based yogurt, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and the natural gelling agent dissolved in almond milk to bring moisture and binding to the cake.
  4. Fold Wet and Dry Together: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Fold in the soaked apples evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool slightly before slicing to maintain fluffiness.

Notes

  • Choose crisp apples like Granny Smith or Fuji for tartness and texture.
  • Mix gently to keep the cake light and airy.
  • Use a toothpick to test for doneness without cutting prematurely.
  • Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before slicing for best texture.
  • Do not skip cinnamon as it enhances the overall flavor.
