Healthy Oatmeal, Apple & Carrot Cake
This delicious and nutritious cake is a wonderful alternative to traditional baked goods. It’s made with rolled oats instead of flour, contains no added sugar, and gets all its natural sweetness from dried fruits, apples, and carrots. It’s soft, moist, and packed with flavor — perfect for breakfast, snack time, or as a guilt-free dessert.
Ingredients Breakdown
Each ingredient plays an important role in this cake’s taste and texture:
Rolled Oats (2 cups / 200 g)
Blended into a coarse flour, oats replace traditional flour and provide fiber, protein, and a hearty texture.
Baking Powder (1 tsp)
Gives the cake a light lift and helps it rise slightly.
Milk (1 cup / 240 ml)
Use any milk — dairy, almond, oat, soy, etc. — to moisten the mixture and bind the ingredients.
Carrot (1 medium, grated)
Adds moisture, sweetness, and nutrition. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene and fiber.
Apple (1 medium, grated)
Contributes natural sweetness and juiciness. Apples also help to soften the cake’s crumb.
Dried Apricots (9 pieces, chopped)
These add chewiness and a rich, fruity flavor. Soaking them in hot water softens their texture.
Raisins (4 tablespoons, rinsed)
Offer bursts of sweetness throughout the cake and help balance the oats’ earthiness.
