Oatmeal, apple and carrots! I don't eat any sugar at all! No flour

 

Ingredients

(Serves 4–6)

2 cups (200 g) rolled oats , chopped in a blender (or use oat flour if available )

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup (240 ml) milk of your choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc. )

1 medium carrot , grated

9 dried apricots , rinsed with hot water and chopped

4 tablespoons raisins , rinsed with hot water

1 medium apple , grated (leave the skin on for extra fiber )

Optional Add-Ins : cinnamon, chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds), chia

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Grate the carrot and apple using a box grater or food processor. Set aside.

Rinse the dried apricots and raisins with hot water to soften them slightly. Chop the apricots into small pieces.

Step 2: Blend the Oats

Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until they resemble coarse flour. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Step 3: Mix the Batter

In the mixing bowl with the blended oats, whisk in the baking powder to ensure even distribution.

Add the grated carrot , grated apple , chopped apricots , and raisins to the bowl. Stir to combine.

Gradually pour in the milk while stirring until you achieve a thick, uniform batter.

Tip : If you want a softer texture, let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the moisture.

Step 4: Cook or Bake

Option 1: Stovetop Porridge Style

Heat the mixture in a saucepan over medium-low heat , stirring frequently, until it thickens and becomes warm (about 5–7 minutes ).

Serve warm in bowls, garnished with additional toppings like nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of nut butter if desired.

Option 2: Baked Cake Style

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Grease a small baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared dish.

Bake for 20–25 minutes , or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool slightly before slicing into squares or bars.

Step 5: Serve

Serve warm or at room temperature.

For the stovetop version, enjoy it like porridge with optional toppings like yogurt, nuts, or seeds.

For the baked version, slice and serve as a grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
