Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup sunflower oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Apples and Dry Ingredients: Peel and finely grate the apples to add natural moisture and sweetness. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and natural gelling agent until evenly combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based yogurt, brown sugar (natural), sunflower oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and natural vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Carefully fold in the grated apples, maintaining a light batter to keep the cake fluffy.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter into a greased or lined cake tin and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps the cake set perfectly for easy slicing and enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Choose tart apples such as Granny Smith for a balanced sweetness and vibrant flavor.
  • Use freshly grated apples instead of pre-packaged for optimal moisture and taste.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir gently to keep the texture light and avoid a dense cake.
  • Check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer for accurate baking results.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before baking to allow oats to absorb moisture and improve texture.
