If you have a glass of oatmeal and carrots, make a cake! No flour, no white sugar, no butter! Guilt-free dessert
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the Oats:
Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until you achieve a flour-like consistency. This will be your oat flour.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
Fold in the grated carrots, and if using, add the chopped nuts or raisins.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can slice and enjoy your guilt-free oatmeal and carrot cake.
This cake is a healthy, delicious option for satisfying your sweet tooth without the guilt. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert!
