I love making breakfast cakes using seasonal fruits. It’s a delicious and easy way to make sure you get an extra occasion to indulge in them. This cake is both quick and easy to make, having oat flour and oats as the main ingredient. It is baked without any butter or oil to keep it healthier and lower. But don’t get fooled, this cake is still incredibly moist, tender and flavorful, since it is baked with greek yogurt/quark and apple sauce. Greek yogurt and apple sauce provide moist to the cake, making it everything butt dry. The yogurt also add a wonderful fresh and slightly tangy flavor while the apple sauce (of course depending on which apples it’s made of) add a sweetness to the cake. This cake is easy to bake in larger amounts and ready to serve in only 25 minutes. It is great to eat just as it is or to add your favorite topping.

A few tips:

  • You can make the rhubarb compote in advance.
  • I used this recipe for the rhubarb compote.
  • Do not over mix the batter. Mix just until combined.
  • Let the cake cool for a few minutes before serving it.
  • You can eat the cake just as it is or top it with different toppings depending on when you’re eating it. A few ideas: top with greek yogurt, fiber syrup, nut butter when you’re having it for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. Add ice cream, chopped nuts, whipped cream if serving it for dessert.
