Ingredients (makes 1 serving):
- 1 large apple (about 100g)
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats (quick oats work best)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Splash of milk (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoons light whipped cream (optional)
Method:
-
Prep the Apple: Wash and core your apple. Using a grater or a food processor, shred the apple into a small bowl.
-
Dry Mix Magic: In the same bowl with the shredded apple, add the rolled oats, applesauce, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix well to combine. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it just comes together.
-
Microwave Marvel: Microwave the apple mixture on high for 2-2.5 minutes, or until the cake is set and cooked through. Be careful, the dish will be hot!
-
Creamy Dream (Optional): Once the cake is cool enough to handle, top it with a dollop of light whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
That’s it! Enjoy your warm, delicious, and unbelievably low-calorie apple cream cake!
Tips and Tricks:
- Experiment with different apple varieties – Granny Smith offers a tart flavor, while sweeter apples like Gala or Honeycrisp create a different taste experience.
- Feeling fancy? Add a pinch of nutmeg or a sprinkle of chopped walnuts to the batter.
- No applesauce? Substitute with mashed banana for a similar texture.
- Leftovers? While not ideal due to the whipped cream, the cake itself can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
So next time you’re craving a sweet treat, whip up this 5-minute apple cream cake and enjoy a guilt-free indulgence!
