A few crushed nuts or raisins (optional topping)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apples

Add the yogurt and mix well until smooth.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in the oatmeal and baking powder.

Mix until the batter is evenly combined.

Fold in the grated apples (and cinnamon if using).
Step 4: Pour into Baking Dish
-
Grease a small baking pan (or line with parchment paper).
-
Pour the mixture in and spread evenly.
-
Optional: sprinkle chopped nuts or raisins on top for extra flavor.
Step 5: Bake
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 6: Serve
-
Let it cool slightly before slicing.
-
Serve warm for breakfast with a drizzle of honey, a spoon of yogurt, or just plain!
🌟 Tips & Variations
-
For extra sweetness: Add 1 mashed banana or a handful of dates.
-
For crunch: Mix in walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
-
For flavor: Try adding vanilla extract, nutmeg, or cardamom.
-
For a pancake version: Cook spoonfuls of the batter in a nonstick pan instead of baking.
