Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Fresh Produce

  • 2 medium fresh apples, peeled and finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper. Peel and finely chop the fresh apples to ensure even moisture and distribution in the cake.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and natural gelling agent. Whisk well to evenly blend all dry ingredients for a balanced rise and subtle spice.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, maple syrup (natural), apple cider vinegar, plant-based milk, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth and well incorporated, adding moisture and a slight tang.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture. Fold in the chopped apples last to keep them juicy within the batter.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to achieve the best texture.

Notes

  • Choose crisp, slightly tart apples for optimal flavor contrast.
  • Measure rolled oats carefully to avoid drying out the cake.
  • Do not skip the apple cider vinegar to activate the baking soda and ensure tenderness.
  • Use natural sweeteners and avoid added refined sugars for balance.
  • Let the cake cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
