👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Beat the eggs in a bowl.
- 2
Add the yogurt and blended oats to the eggs.
- 3
Mix in the almond puree and maple syrup.
- 4
Pour the mixture into molds and bake for 25 minutes at 180°C.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Separate your eggs and whisk whites to stiff peaks (3-4 minutes with electric mixer) before folding into the wet mixture, increasing cake volume by 25-30% since egg whites trap 6x more air than whole eggs due to their protein structure.technique3-4 minutes | 25-30% volume increase
- ✓Add baking powder after combining wet ingredients rather than with dry oats, because yogurt's acidity (pH 3.5-4.5) activates baking powder immediately; mixing early causes CO2 release before baking, reducing rise.timingpH 3.5-4.5
- ✓Use plant-based yogurt with at least 3.5% fat content and allow it to reach 18-20°C before mixing, as cold yogurt (below 10°C) reduces emulsification efficiency by 40%, creating dense cakes instead of airy crumb.ingredient18-20°C | 3.5% fat minimum | 40% emulsification loss
- ✓Bake at 175°C for 28-30 minutes instead of 180°C for 25 minutes, because oat-based batters conduct heat 15% slower than wheat flour cakes; the lower temperature prevents dome cracking while the extra time ensures the center reaches 92°C (starch gelatinization complete).timing175°C | 28-30 minutes | 92°C internal temp
- ✓Let batter rest 5 minutes after final mixing before portioning into molds, allowing oat starches to fully hydrate and stabilize the emulsion, which reduces the risk of separation and yields a 15% more tender crumb.timing5 minutes rest | 15% improved tenderness
