Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C and line a small cake tin.
- Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and most of the oats; stir in oat milk and olive oil.
- Fold in diced apples and scatter remaining oats on top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, check the centre and cool before cutting.
- Before serving, check: Fold wet and dry ingredients together only until combined. Overmixing can make cakes or muffins dense.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Preheat the oven before mixing and prepare the tin first so the batter does not sit waiting.
- Fold wet and dry ingredients together only until combined. Overmixing can make cakes or muffins dense.
- Baking times vary: a skewer inserted into the centre should come out without wet batter. Bake a few more minutes if needed and cool before slicing.
Tip
Adjust seasonings to taste and check ingredients are fully cooked before serving.
