👨‍🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)

Step 1: Grate the Carrot and Apple
Grate 1 medium carrot and 1 apple into a large bowl.
💡 Choose sweet apple varieties like Gala or Fuji for extra flavour.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Mix
Add 200g of oat flakes and 1 tsp of baking powder to the bowl.
💡 Blend your oats into flour beforehand for a softer texture.

Step 3: Add the Moist Ingredients
Crack in 3 eggs and pour in 240 ml of milk of your choice.
💡 Use oat or almond milk for an extra nutty note.

Step 4: Sweeten the Mix
Add 4 tbsp stevia and a pinch of vanilla sugar (optional).
💡 Taste the batter to adjust sweetness to your preference.

Step 5: Mix in the Good Stuff
Stir in 4 tbsp of pre-rinsed raisins and 50g chopped walnuts.
💡 Rinsing raisins in hot water plumps them up and removes excess sugar.

Step 6: Add the Oil
Pour in 2 tbsp of olive oil and mix thoroughly.
💡 Extra virgin olive oil adds depth and richness.

Step 7: Combine Everything
Mix until the batter is evenly combined and thick.
💡 Let it rest 5 minutes so

oats absorb moisture.Step 8: Prepare the Tin
Line an 18 cm (7-inch)

cake tin with parchment and pour in the batter.
💡 Press gently with a spatula for even baking.

Step 9: Bake to Perfection
Bake at 180°C (360°F) for 45–50 minutes until golden and firm.
💡 Insert a toothpick — it should come out clean.
