Healthy Oatmeal, Apple & Carrot Cake
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a round or square cake pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. - Process the Oats
Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until they resemble coarse flour. - Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour and baking powder. - Add the Wet Ingredients
Pour in the milk, then stir in the grated carrot and apple until evenly mixed. - Incorporate Dried Fruits
Add the chopped apricots and rinsed raisins to the batter. Mix well so the fruits are distributed throughout. - Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Cool & Serve
Allow the cake to cool for 10–15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
