Ingredients

• 2 cups (200 g) rolled oats, finely chopped in a blender
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 grated carrot
• 9 dried apricots, rinsed in warm water and chopped
• 4 tablespoons raisins, rinsed in warm water
• 1 grated apple
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 4 tablespoons stevia or your preferred sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 18-cm (7-inch) baking dish

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
• Lightly grease your baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

• In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped oats and baking powder. This will form the base of your healthy dessert.

3. Add the Fruits and Vegetables

• Add the grated carrot, chopped dried apricots, rinsed raisins, and grated apple to the oat mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

4. Whisk the Wet Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they’re light and fluffy.
• Add the stevia (or your chosen sweetener), vanilla extract, and olive oil. Continue whisking until everything is well combined.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

• Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth and uniform.

6. Bake to Perfection

• Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes. Keep an eye on it—the top should turn golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

7. Cool and Serve

• Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This allows the dessert to set and makes it easier to slice. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Recipe Tips

• • Customize It: Feel free to experiment by adding chopped nuts or substituting dried apricots with other dried fruits like dates or cranberries.
  • Alternative Oils: Swap olive oil with melted coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
  • Optional Add-Ins: Add a sprinkle of shredded coconut or dark chocolate chips for an extra treat.
