Today I will share with you a recipe for a cake with pears, which not only delights with its taste, but is also friendly to our body. Ideal for those who care about a healthy diet, but do not want to give up the pleasure of homemade cake.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe pears
- 1 and 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 3/4 cup of plant milk (e.g. almond milk, oat milk)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of natural sweetener (e.g. maple syrup, honey for non-vegans)
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Method of preparation
The preparation of this healthy pear cake is extremely simple and does not require special cooking skills. Let's start with the preparation of ingredients.
First, wash, peel and cut the pears into thin slices. Be sure to choose ripe but still firm fruits that will be sweet and juicy. Pears will not only add great flavor to the cake, but also make it moist and aromatic.
In the next step, in a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable milk, coconut oil and natural sweetener. Then, combine the contents of the two bowls, stirring gently so that the ingredients combine, but the mixture is not overworked.
Add sliced pears to the prepared mass and gently mix. Pour the prepared mixture into a baking pan lined with baking paper. Bake the cake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius for about 45-50 minutes, until it turns golden and a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
After baking, let the cake cool on the griddle. This will make it easier to cut and will not fall apart when serving. Healthy pear cake is perfect for dessert, snack or even breakfast. You can serve it solo or with the addition of natural yogurt, fresh fruit or a little honey for extra sweetness.
Nutritional values and health benefits
This cake not only tastes delicious, but also provides a lot of nutritional value. Pears are rich in fiber, vitamins (C, K) and minerals (potassium). Whole-grain flour and oat flour are excellent sources of nutrients and fiber to aid digestion. The addition of vegetable milk and coconut oil makes the cake lighter and less caloric than traditional baked goods, yet just as tasty.
Preparing a homemade pear cake is not only a great way to spend time in the kitchen, but also to introduce valuable nutrients into your diet. Whether for a special occasion or simply as a healthy snack, this cake is sure to delight anyone who tries it. Enjoy!
