    • 1 pinch of salt
    • 1 cup of milk

  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation method:

Place the oats in a food processor or blender. Add the baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt. Blend until it forms a fine flour.

  • Note: if you choose vanilla essence, leave it to add along with the milk, in the next step.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the milk and stir to combine. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, soak the dried plums, apricots and cranberries in warm water, each in a separate container.

After the oat mixture has rested for 10 minutes, add the grated pumpkin and grated carrot, mixing well.

Then add the grated apple and chopped dried fruits (dried plum, apricot and cranberry) and mix again.

Beat the eggs with the oil in a mixer until they start to foam, then add them to the mixture. If desired, add the chopped nuts and mix.

Pour the batter into a round baking pan lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 35 to 40 minutes.

Wait for it to cool a little, unmold and serve!
