Ingredients:
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup milk
1 apple
1 banana
Sweetener and vanilla (to taste)
3 eggs (room temperature)
60 grams walnuts
150 grams yogurt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
Slice the cake into portions and serve warm. It pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea, making it an ideal way to start your day.
Prepare the Oatmeal Base:
Begin by combining 1 cup of oatmeal with 1 cup of milk in a mixing bowl. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb the milk and soften, creating a better texture for your cake.
Prep the Fruits:
While the oats are soaking, peel and core the apple, then grate it finely or chop it into small pieces.
Peel the banana and mash it until smooth. These fruits add natural sweetness and moisture to the cake.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
After the oats have soaked, add the grated apple and mashed banana to the bowl.
Crack 3 eggs into the mixture, making sure they are at room temperature for better incorporation.
Add your choice of sweetener and vanilla for a hint of sweetness and flavor. Stir everything together until well combined.
Incorporate the Nuts and Yogurt:
Chop the walnuts into small pieces and add them to the mixture. Walnuts provide a nice crunch and a dose of healthy fats.
Stir in the yogurt, which adds moisture and a slight tang, balancing the sweetness of the fruit.
Season and Add Leavening:
Add the cinnamon and baking powder to the mixture. The cinnamon gives the cake a warm, aromatic flavor, while the baking powder helps it rise during baking.
Prepare for Baking:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Pour the prepared mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serve:
Slice the cake into portions and serve warm. It pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea, making it an ideal way to start your day.
