Video
Ingredients
- 100 g rolled oats
- 1 apple, grated and squeezed slightly
- 4 medjool dates
- 1 medium egg
- 30 g maple syrup
- 50 g coconut oil
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
Optional
- sprinkle of icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C static (350°F). Line or lightly grease a small baking tin 16x12cm (6.3 × 4.7 inches) and set aside.
- Grate the apple using the coarse side of the grater.
- Gently squeeze it with your hands to remove just a little excess moisture — not too much, you still want it juicy.
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz until smooth and well combined, but don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 30–32 minutes, until golden and set in the centre.
- Let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
