Why is this Apple Cake a healthy choice?
This Apple Cake recipe is a healthy alternative to traditional cakes, as it uses wholemeal flour and oats, which are rich in fiber, and brown sugar, which is less processed. Furthermore, apples are sources of antioxidants and fiber that promote satiety.
The added cinnamon not only adds a kick of amazing flavor, but it can also help regulate blood sugar levels. Coconut oil or olive oil, used in moderation, provides healthy fats that are beneficial to the body
