 Q&A

 Can I use instant oats?

Yes! Both instant (quick) and rolled oats work.

  • Quick oats → softer texture
  • Rolled oats → more chewy and hearty

 Can I make this without eggs?

Yes, substitute each egg with:

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds + 2.5 tbsp water (let sit 5 min)
    or
  • Mashed banana (will make it sweeter)

 Is this good for weight loss?

It can help because:

  • High in fiber (keeps you full)
  • No added sugar
  • Balanced protein + carbs

But weight loss depends on your overall daily calories, not just one meal.


 Can I make it on the stovetop instead?

This recipe is designed for baking, but you can:

  • Cook it like thick oatmeal in a pan
  • Texture will be different (more like porridge)

 How do I store it?

  • Fridge: up to 3–4 days
  • Freezer: up to 1 month
  • Reheat in microwave or oven

 Can I blend the batter?

Yes! Blending makes it:

  • Smoother
  • More cake-like

 Why is mine too dry or too wet?

  • Too dry → apples were small or not juicy
  • Too wet → add 1–2 tbsp extra oats

 Can I skip yogurt?

Yes, replace with:

  • Milk (same amount)
  • Or plant-based yogurt

 How many calories?

Approximate total: 700–900 kcal for whole dish
(Depends on add-ins)
