How to Make No Flour Oat Cake

PIN IT

I genuinely love recipes like this because they feel so effortless… like your kitchen doing something magical with simple ingredients.

Step 1: Prepare the oats

You can leave the oats whole for texture or blend them slightly for a softer cake. I personally love doing half-and-half.

Step 2: Mix the wet ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.

The smell already starts feeling warm and comforting here

Step 3: Add the dry ingredients

Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Then fold in diced apples, raisins, and nuts.

At this point the batter looks rustic, hearty, and packed with goodness.

Step 4: Bake

Pour into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 35–40 minutes until golden and set in the center.

Your kitchen will smell absolutely unreal.

Step 5: Cool and enjoy

Let it cool slightly before slicing. The texture gets even better after resting a bit.

And honestly? A warm slice with coffee is pure happiness.
