Ingredients For 1 Cup of Oats and 2 Apples Cake (No Sugar, No Flour!)

• 1 cup rolled oats (or quick oats)

• 2 medium apples (peeled and chopped)

• 2 eggs

• ½ cup plain yogurt (or Greek yogurt)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp cinnamon powder

• ¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• 2–3 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts) for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Prepare the apples: Peel and chop them, then blend until smooth (or grate for a chunkier texture).

3. Blend oats into a flour-like texture using a blender or food processor.

4. Mix the batter:
   In a bowl, combine the oat flour, apple puree, eggs, yogurt, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth.

5. Add extras: Fold in raisins or cranberries if using.

6. Pour into mold: Transfer the mixture into a silicone loaf pan (like in the picture).

7. Top with nuts: Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly on top.

8. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown and firm in the center.

9. Cool & serve: Let it cool before slicing. Enjoy it plain or with a drizzle of honey or nut butter!

Notes:

• You can replace yogurt with mashed banana for a dairy-free version.

• Use old-fashioned oats for a more rustic texture.

• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.

Tips:

• Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness.

• For a softer texture, soak oats in yogurt for 10 minutes before mixing.

• Sprinkle cinnamon sugar substitute or extra nuts before baking for a beautiful crust.
