Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 cup grated apples (about 1 medium apple)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and ground cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute the cinnamon throughout the oats.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the honey and grated apples, mixing well to combine all wet ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until all components are evenly incorporated and you have a thick batter.
  5. Pour Batter and Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
  • For extra moisture and flavor, add a handful of chopped nuts or raisins to the batter.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, ensure to use certified gluten-free oats.
  • The cake stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To enhance apple flavor, sprinkle additional cinnamon on top before baking.
