Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 120 ml unsweetened applesauce
- 250 ml low-fat milk
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the cake into wedges and serve. Enjoy your delicious low-fat classic oat cake!
