- Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line a baking dish or cake tin with baking paper. 2:07
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon and the oats in a bowl. In another bowl whisk the kefir, eggs, 30 g sugar and vanilla, then whisk them into the dry ingredients. 0:00
- Spread the peeled, chopped pears and apple over the base of the dish and pour the batter over them. 2:13
- Bake for 35–40 minutes in all. Meanwhile mix the topping sugar with the extra cinnamon. 2:25
- Ten minutes before the end, pour the melted butter over the cake, sprinkle with a few pinches of the cinnamon sugar and return it to the oven for the last 10 minutes. Cool before turning out. 2:44
Tip. Serves 8 (our estimate). The cook's swaps: gluten-free flour for the flour, maple syrup for the sugar, and milk soured with 1 tbsp lemon juice if you have no kefir.
The method is a summary in our words — the video shows every step.

Selenium High25%
14 µg a serve, mostly from flour (38%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Vitamin B12 Source10%
0.2 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (59%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Zinc8%
0.9 mg a serve, mostly from rolled oats (50%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Magnesium7%
30 mg a serve, mostly from rolled oats (58%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Iron6%
1 mg a serve, mostly from rolled oats (53%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Calcium5%
65 mg a serve, mostly from milk kefir (63%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Vitamin A5%
48 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (39%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Folate5%
21 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (26%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Potassium4%
200 mg a serve, mostly from milk kefir (26%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Vitamin B64%
0.1 mg a serve, mostly from milk kefir (26%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin C3%
2.6 mg a serve, mostly from pears (63%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin D3%
0.6 µg a serve, mostly from milk kefir (51%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin E2%
0.3 mg a serve, mostly from eggs (40%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Vitamin K2%
2.6 µg a serve, mostly from pears (62%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Omega-32%
0 g a serve, mostly from rolled oats (36%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
