1 small spoon of baking powder
1 cup (240 ml) of milk, can be dairy or plant-based.
1 carrot, shredded
9 dried apricots, washed with hot water and cut into pieces.
4 tablespoons of raisins washed with hot water
1 apple, shredded
1 small spoon of cinnamon
3 huevos
4 tablespoons of stevia or another sweetener you prefer.
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
2 tablespoons of olive oil
A dish that is 18 centimeters wide.
Instructions:
Preheat the oven and get everything ready.
Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F) before using it.
Use a little olive oil to lightly coat your 18 cm baking dish so the food doesn’t stick.
Oat and Baking Powder Celebration:
In a big bowl, mix together the finely chopped oats (you can use a blender for a smoother texture) and baking powder. This is the foundation of our nutritious cake.
Fun with Fruits:
Put the shredded carrot, chopped dried apricots, washed raisins, and shredded apple into the oats. Stir everything thoroughly to make sure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Great Mix:
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy. Next, include the stevia (or the sweetener you prefer), vanilla extract, and olive oil. Mix again until everything is well blended.
The Great Combination:
Pour the beaten eggs into the oats and mix gently with a spatula until everything is well combined. You want a smooth batter.
Make it happen by baking!
Put the mixture into your greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Cook it in the oven that has been heated beforehand for 45-50 minutes. Watch it closely! The surface should become a nice golden color, and when you insert a toothpick in the middle, it should come out clean.
Comfortable and pleasant.
When the baking time is finished, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool a bit before serving. This allows it to solidify correctly.
