This healthy apple cake is moist, tender, and full of warm cinnamon-spiced apple flavor. And the best part? It’s gluten-free, low in sugar, and high in protein. Made with almond and oat flour, it’s lightly sweetened with maple syrup and brown sugar, and boosted with protein powder for a wholesome treat you can enjoy any time of day.
Why you’ll love this recipe:
It has a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture thanks to fresh apples baked right into the batter.
The nutty almond-oat base gives it a rich flavor and heartier crumb than traditional apple cake.
It strikes the perfect balance between indulgent and nourishing, satisfying your sweet tooth while fueling your body.
