No-Flour Flourless Oatmeal Apple Cake

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup rolled oats

1 large apple, peeled and chopped

2 eggs

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small 6–7 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

I add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend them until they resemble oat flour.

I add the chopped apple, eggs, maple syrup, and cinnamon to the blender.

I blend everything again until the batter is smooth and well combined.

I pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

I bake it for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake is set and lightly golden.

I let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Variations

I sometimes add a splash of vanilla extract for extra warmth. I also like mixing in chopped walnuts, raisins, or a small handful of chocolate chips when I want a richer version. For a slightly sweeter cake, I add a little extra maple syrup.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When I want to reheat a slice, I warm it in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds. I can also enjoy it cold straight from the fridge.

FAQs

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Yes, I can use quick oats. The texture may be slightly softer, but the cake still works well.

Can I make this cake without maple syrup?

Yes, I can use honey or another liquid sweetener instead. The flavor will change slightly depending on what I use.

Do I need to peel the apple?

I prefer peeling the apple for a smoother texture, but I can leave the peel on if I do not mind a more rustic cake.

Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Yes, I can make it ahead and store it in the refrigerator. It is great for meal prep or quick breakfasts.

How do I know when the cake is done?

I know it is done when the center is set, the top looks lightly golden, and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Conclusion

This No-Flour Flourless Oatmeal Apple Cake is an easy, cozy recipe I like making when I want something sweet, simple, and wholesome. With oats, apple, eggs, maple syrup, and cinnamon, it turns everyday ingredients into a soft cake that works for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
