Ingredients (Serves 12)

• 125g coconut oil

• 2 eggs

• 125g full-fat Greek yoghurt

• 250g apple puree or unsweetened apple sauce

• 250g rolled oats

• ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 2 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Bundt Tin: Coat your bundt tin with butter and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).

2. Make Oat Flour: Blend the rolled oats in a food processor or blender until they reach a flour-like consistency.

3. Whip the Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer, whip the eggs and coconut oil until light and fluffy. This step creates air in the batter for a light texture.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the Greek yoghurt and apple puree to the egg mixture and mix until smooth. Then, fold in the oat flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Mix until just combined.

5. Bake: Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared bundt tin. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.

6. Cool and Release: Allow the cake to cool completely before carefully tipping it over to release it from the bundt tin.

Why This Cake is a Healthy Choice

1. No Added Sugar: The natural sweetness of apple puree makes this cake free of refined sugars while still satisfying your sweet tooth.

3. Wholesome Fats: Coconut oil and full-fat Greek yoghurt provide healthy fats for energy and satiety.

4. Spice Benefits: Cinnamon and nutmeg not only add warmth to the flavor but also have anti-inflammatory and blood sugar-regulating properties.
