January 9, 2025 by admin

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Heat to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch round or square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Dry Mix: In a bowl, mix oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, and optional shredded coconut or nuts.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, stir together the grated apples, grated carrot, raisins, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Make the Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until well combined and the oats absorb some of the liquid.
5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing into wedges or squares.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve warm with a dollop of almond butter or vegan yogurt.
• Add a drizzle of maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.
• Pair with tea or coffee for a cozy snack.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for the best texture.
