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.
