Oatmeal Apple & Carrot Cake (No Sugar, No Flour!)

This cake is everything you want in a healthy dessert — moist, fruity, and naturally sweet without any refined sugar or flour. Made with oats, apples, carrots, and dried fruit, it’s wholesome enough for breakfast yet satisfying as a treat!

🌿 Ingredients

• 2 cups (200 g) rolled oats, blended into coarse flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup (240 ml) plant milk of your choice (almond, oat, or soy)
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1 apple, grated
• 9 dried apricots, rinsed with hot water and chopped
• 4 tbsp raisins, rinsed with hot water

(Optional add-ins: ½ tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp chia seeds, a handful of walnuts, or a splash of vanilla extract)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven:
   Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a round cake pan.
2. Prepare the oats:
   Blend rolled oats in a blender or food processor until coarse (not too fine). Mix in the baking powder.
3. Combine wet ingredients:
   In a large bowl, mix grated carrot, apple, apricots, raisins, and milk. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to soften the oats.
4. Mix together:
   Combine wet and dry ingredients until a thick batter forms. Add cinnamon or nuts if desired.
5. Bake:
   Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and firm in the center.
6. Cool & serve:
   Allow to cool completely before slicing. Serve plain or with a dollop of vegan yogurt!

🍎 Tips

• You can replace apricots with dates or figs for extra sweetness.
• For a more dessert-like version, drizzle with a touch of maple syrup or top with coconut cream.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days — or refrigerate for up to a week.
