Stir in the grated apples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine:<\/strong> Fold in the oats (the whole and the ground ones) and the baking powder. If the batter feels too dry, add a splash of almond milk; if too wet, add a spoonful more oats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assemble:<\/strong> Pour the batter into a lined cake tin (approx. 20cm).
