Preparation Time
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 35–40 minutes
- Total Time: 50–55 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups (200 g) rolled oats, blended into a coarse flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk of your choice
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 medium apple, peeled and grated
- 9 dried apricots, rinsed with hot water and chopped
- 4 tablespoons raisins, rinsed with hot water
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan or baking dish with parchment paper. - Prepare Oat Flour:
Place the rolled oats in a blender and pulse until they reach a coarse flour-like consistency. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, mix the milk, grated carrot, grated apple, vanilla extract, chopped apricots, and raisins. - Combine Wet & Dry:
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until evenly combined. The batter will be slightly thick. - Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Cool & Serve:
Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Tips & Variations
- Add chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds) for extra crunch.
- Substitute dried apricots with dates for a richer sweetness.
