Craving a warm, comforting dessert but want to avoid refined sugar and flour? This recipe is the answer! Here, we combine the natural sweetness of fruits with the satiety of oats to create a delicious and healthy baked dessert. Full of grated apples, carrots, and a touch of stevia for sweetness, this oatmeal treat is sure to become your new favorite.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (200 g) rolled oats, 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 with hot water and chopped
- 4 tablespoons raisins, rinsed with hot water
- 1 grated apple
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 eggs
- 4 tablespoons stevia or other sweetener of your choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 18cm saucepan
Instructions:
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease the 18cm baking dish with a touch of olive oil so you can unmold it later.
- Oatmeal and Baking Powder Party: In a large bowl, combine the chopped oats (using the blender for a finer texture) and baking powder. This forms the base of our healthy cake.
- Fruity Fun: It’s time to add all the good stuff! Add the grated carrot, chopped dried apricots, washed raisins and grated apple. Mix everything well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
- Great Egg Mix: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Next, add the stevia (or your chosen sweetener), vanilla extract, and olive oil. Beat again until well combined.
- The Perfect Mix: Pour the wet egg mixture into the dry oat mixture and mix gently with a spatula until everything is completely incorporated. You want a uniform dough.
- Bake it and that’s it! Pour the dough into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Let it bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Don’t lose sight of her! The top should turn a nice golden brown color and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Comforting freshness: Once the cooking time is up, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This will give it time to harden properly.
