Instructions
Peel and cube the apples. Blend them until a smooth puree forms.
In a mixing bowl, combine apple puree, oat flour, and mashed banana. Mix until uniform.
Add eggs, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, and stevia. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped apricots, and Greek yogurt.
Grease a loaf pan with olive oil and dust lightly with oat flour. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle chopped walnuts and extra cranberries over the top.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Let cool before removing from the pan. Slice and enjoy a moist, fruit-packed cake with no added sugar.

Troubleshooting & Consistency Tips
Too dense? Ensure baking powder is fresh and mix gently to keep air in the batter.
Too moist? Extend baking time by 5–10 minutes, covering the top loosely with foil to prevent over-browning.
Dry texture? Add an extra tablespoon of yogurt or 1–2 teaspoons of olive oil next time.
Fruits sinking? Toss dried fruits in a teaspoon of oat flour before adding to the batter.
Storage & Make-Ahead
Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Refrigerate: Keeps for up to 5 days; warm slices briefly before serving.
Freeze: Slice and wrap individually; freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight or warm in the oven before serving.
Why This Recipe Works
By using fruit purees like apple and banana, this recipe replaces sugar with natural sweetness while keeping the crumb moist and tender. Oat flour adds fiber and a soft texture, while Greek yogurt enhances richness without heavy fats. Dried fruits bring chewy contrast and extra bursts of flavor, while walnuts lend healthy fats and crunch. Every bite tastes indulgent yet wholesome.
Expert Tips
Blend apples into a smooth puree — chunky pieces can alter baking time.
Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
Don’t overmix after adding the baking powder — gentle folding keeps the cake light.
Let it cool completely before slicing; this locks in moisture and prevents crumbling.
Try topping slices with a spoon of yogurt or nut butter for a nourishing breakfast.
