Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (optional, for streusel topping)
- 1 tablespoons Coconut oil (optional, for streusel topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apples gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
For an optional streusel topping, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, and coconut oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy apple coffee cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
