Delicious Healthy Apple Tea Cakes

Print Recipe
Course Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Eggs
  • 100 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or oil of choice)
  • 100 ml Maple Syrup (or sweetener of choice, but I love the taste maple syrup gives!)
  • 3 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract (you can use essence if you wish/that's what you have, but extract is less processed and has a stronger flavour)
  • 2 cups Wholemeal Spelt or buckwheat flour (or flour of choice)
  • 2-3 large Apples cut into small cubes (You could grate or chop finer if for kiddos and wanting to blend the apples in better or you just prefer this way - does turn out more like a muffin this way)
  • 1 Bananas chopped or mashed (if you don't have banana you could add some extra apple, or a pear)
  • 2 tsp raw sugar (highly optional - for sprinkling on top)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 160deg
  • In a bowl or mixer, beat eggs and then combine in olive oil, maple syrup, baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla
  • Add flour and mix through into a nice and smooth batter
  • Fold through your apples and banana and mix gently until all the apples/banana are coated with the mixture
  • Prepare your cake mold/tin as needed. Ie if you need to grease or use baking paper. I find silicone molds the best. :)
    I like to use rectangle tea cake molds, but any shape or size is fine. You may also like to make as one large loaf / cake. The choice is yours :)
  • Pour mixture into cake molds, making sure the apples are evenly distributed.
  • If you want a nice crispy top, sprinkle cakes with raw sugar :)
  • Depending on the size of your molds/cakes, cook between 40-60 minutes. Check with a skewer.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool in the mold/tin before removing.
  • Delicious eaten warm or cold, with yogurt or a scoop of icecream !
