My neighbours raved about this cake when I served it at our “coffee hour” a couple of weeks ago. I hope you enjoy it too. It’s full of fibre which helps fill us up but also supports digestive health (which in turn supports immunity, hormones, nervous system and brain health – it’s all connected!!). My kids ate this with a dollop of yoghurt for breakfast and my husband with leftover custard. It’s also, neighbour approved, great on its own! Serves 8 – 12 depending on your portion size!!
200g ground almonds
50g wholemeal flour
75g ground flax or mixed nuts
100g chia seeds
100g sunflower seeds
50g brown sugar or generous tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
250g butter
100g oatmilk
4 eggs
6 apples and extra cinnamon
Teaspoon of bicarb
Method:
Chop your apples into bite sized chunks and sauté with butter and cinnamon until soft. You could stop right here and have a big bowl of these in the fridge to add to porridge/pudding/afterwork snack! But, if you’re making the cake, set these to the side to cool and then pour into your cake tin so they’re evenly spread.
Combine all the other above ingredients in a cake mixer. I added the oat milk last and adjusted the amount as to what the cake needed. Pour your cake mixture over the soft apples. Bake until cooked through – approx 180 for approx 40 minutes – depending on your oven. Enjoy!
