Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats (blended into oat flour)
  • 1 ½ cups grated carrots
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped nuts or raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oat Flour: Blend the oats in a food processor until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, honey (or maple syrup), Greek yogurt (or applesauce), and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the blended oat flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in Carrots and Mix-ins: Gently stir in the grated carrots and optional nuts or raisins.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt or extra applesauce.
  • To make it nut-free, omit the nuts or replace them with sunflower seeds.
  • A light cream cheese glaze or Greek yogurt drizzle adds a delicious touch.
