Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium apples
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Batter

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp honey

For topping:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grate the apples, mix with cinnamon, and spread evenly in the bottom of a small, parchment-lined baking dish.
  • In a blender, combine oat flour, baking powder, milk, honey, and olive or coconut oil, blending until smooth. Pour the batter over the apple layer.
