Description

This Carrot Raisin Oatmeal Yogurt Cake is a healthy, naturally sweetened dessert that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made with oat flour, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup, this moist, flavorful cake is gluten-free and customizable to your dietary preferences. Ideal for anyone looking for a nourishing yet indulgent treat.


Ingredients

1 ½ cups (135g) oat flour (or blended rolled oats)

1 cup (100g) grated carrots (freshly grated)

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon (or pumpkin spice)

⅓ cup (80ml) maple syrup or honey

2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)

½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

¼ cup (60ml) melted coconut oil or butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

⅓ cup (50g) raisins


Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch cake or loaf pan.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup (or honey), Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Once combined, fold in grated carrots and raisins.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once fully cooled, slice and serve.


Notes

  • For a vegan version, swap eggs for flax eggs and use dairy-free yogurt.

  • Feel free to customize with nuts, coconut, or other fruits for added flavor.

  • You can substitute raisins with dried cranberries or omit nuts for a nut-free option.
