Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, diced apples, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined. If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in those chopped nuts for extra crunch.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a delicious twist, consider adding nutmeg or ginger for extra flavor.
