Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup butter, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
Vegetables
- 2 carrots, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it’s at the right heat for baking the cake evenly.
- Blend the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Combine all ingredients except the shredded carrots into a bowl. Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend this mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate the Carrots: Gently fold the shredded carrots into the blended batter, making sure they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Prepare the Pan and Bake: Line a small 7×7 inch (approximately 18 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, slice into pieces and enjoy your healthy, flourless oatmeal carrot cake.
Notes
- For a vegan alternative, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based butter.
- If you prefer a sweeter cake, add a tablespoon more honey.
- Make sure the shredded carrots are finely grated to blend well with the batter.
- Storage: Keep the cake refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Oats used are naturally gluten-free but ensure certified gluten-free oats if gluten sensitivity is an issue.
