Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups grated carrots
2 cups grated apples (excess moisture squeezed out)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan or line with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, grated carrots, grated apples, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Step 4: Combine & Bake
Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix. Transfer batter to prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool before slicing.
Notes
Squeeze excess moisture from grated apples and carrots for a firmer texture.
For a smoother texture, pulse oats in a blender to create oat flour before mixing.
Add raisins or shredded coconut for variation.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
