Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, or preferred)
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 medium fresh apples, peeled and diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and dice fresh apples. Measure dry and wet ingredients separately to make mixing easier.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and natural gelling agent evenly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk plant-based milk, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Bring It All Together: Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and stir gently until combined. Fold in diced apples carefully to maintain their shape.
  5. Bake: Transfer batter into a lightly greased cake pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the cake set while staying moist.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples for best flavor and moisture.
  • Do not overmix; stir just enough to combine for a light and fluffy cake.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer for consistent baking.
  • Adjust spices gradually to suit your taste.
  • Allow cake to cool fully to enhance flavor and texture.
