Ingredients
- 2 cups (200 g) rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk of your choice
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 apple, grated or finely chopped
- 9 dried apricots, rinsed with hot water and chopped
- 4 tablespoons raisins, rinsed with hot water
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: chopped walnuts or almonds for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Add the rolled oats to a blender and pulse a few times until slightly broken down, but not completely powdered. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Fold in the grated carrot, grated apple, chopped apricots, and raisins. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes so the oats can absorb some liquid.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top if desired.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown and firm in the center.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
