🍎 Easy Healthy Apple Cake; A Cozy Fall Favorite!

Hi friends!
Today I’m sharing a super simple and totally tasty treat my Easy Healthy Apple Cake. This cake is packed with real apples, warm cinnamon, sweet dates, and healthy oats. It’s soft, moist, and perfect for fall (or really any season!). The best part? You don’t need to be a fancy baker to make it. If you can blend, you can bake this!

Let’s get started 🍰

👩‍🍳 Method (In Detail)

Grate and Prepare the Apple

Start by washing and grating one fresh apple. You can use any kind of apple you like sweet or tart, both work great! Once grated, use your hands or a clean cloth to gently squeeze out some of the juice. You don’t need to get it totally dry just remove a little of the extra liquid. This step is important so your cake doesn’t turn out too wet or mushy.

Add All Ingredients to the Blender

Now that the apple is ready, it’s time to build the batter. Add the grated apple, oats, olive oil (or another neutral oil), egg, baking soda, maple syrup, pitted medjool dates, and cinnamon to your blender or food processor. If your dates are a bit dry, you can soak them in warm water for 5 minutes first to make blending easier.

Blend Until Smooth

Turn on your blender and blend everything together. You don’t want to over-blend it just mix until all the ingredients are well combined and the batter looks smooth. You should see little bits of oats and dates, but everything should be evenly mixed. Scrape down the sides if needed to make sure nothing gets left behind.

Pour the Batter Into the Tin

Once blended, pour the batter into a greased small loaf or cake tin. Make sure to spread the batter out evenly with a spoon or spatula so the cake cooks nicely and doesn’t end up with lumps or uneven spots.

Cover with Foil

Before baking, loosely cover the top of the tin with a piece of foil. This will help stop the top from getting too brown or crispy before the inside is fully cooked. Don’t press the foil tightly just rest it gently on top.

Bake the Cake

Place the tin in a preheated oven at 180°C (or 350°F). Let the cake bake for 23 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top looks set and a toothpick or fork poked into the middle comes out mostly clean.

Cool Before Slicing

Once baked, carefully take the cake out of the oven and let it cool in the tin for at least 10 minutes. Then, move it to a cooling rack (if you have one). Let it cool completely before cutting into it. This is super important if you slice too soon, it might fall apart or feel too soft inside.

Optional Finishing Touch

If you like, dust a bit of icing sugar on top for a pretty look and a touch of sweetness. This part is totally up to you!
