A moist and healthy oatmeal apple cake packed with flavor, perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled, diced apples (about 2 medium; Honeycrisp or Gala work great)
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (for topping)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix oats, applesauce, and milk. Let sit 10 minutes to soften.
  3. Whisk in eggs, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil (or butter), vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Stir in baking powder and salt until combined.
  5. Fold in the diced apples.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  7. Bake 38–45 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are perfect).
  8. Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then remove and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if you’d like.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use almond milk and coconut oil.
