👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Soak the oats
Combine 1 cup of gluten-free oats with 1 cup hot water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
💡Soaking softens the oats for better texture and easier digestion.
Step 2: Mash the banana
Use a fork to mash one ripe banana in a large bowl.
💡The riper the banana, the sweeter the cake — no need for extra sugar!
Step 3: Add the wet ingredients
To the banana, add 2 eggs, ½ cup yogurt, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix well.
💡Room-temperature eggs blend more easily — take them out in advance.
Step 4: Melt and stir in the butter
Add 3½ tbsp (50 g) of melted butter to the bowl and mix until combined.
💡Cool the butter slightly before adding to prevent cooking the eggs.
Step 5: Add the soaked oats
Stir the softened oats into the mixture.
💡At this stage, your batter should be thick but pourable.
Step 6: Fold in the chopped apple
Peel and dice one apple, then fold it into the batter.
💡Use a crisp apple variety like Granny Smith or Fuji for best results.
Step 7: Add blueberries
Gently fold in ⅔ cup (80 g) of blueberries.
💡Frozen blueberries work too — just don’t thaw them first.
Step 8: Sweeten (optional)
Add 2 tbsp of erythritol or stevia if desired.
💡Taste the batter before baking — fruit may have sweetened it enough.
Step 9: Add baking powder
Add 1 tsp baking powder and stir gently.
💡Don’t overmix after this step — it can deflate your batter.
Step 10: Bake
Pour batter into a greased loaf pan (20 x 8 cm) and bake at 180°C (360°F) for 50 minutes.
💡Insert a toothpick in the center — if it comes out clean, it’s done!
