By Lilias

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
