- 1 cup rolled or porridge oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Β½ tsp ground ginger
- 2 cups finely grated carrots
- 1 cup maple or agave syrup
- 1 cup raisins (optional)
- Β½ cup unsweetened, finely shredded coconut
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 165Β°C. Lightly oil and line a 22 cm square baking tray.
- Put the oat and walnuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl. Add the flour, baking powder & soda, cinnamon, ginger and mix well.
- In another bowl, combine the carrots, syrup, raisins, coconut and vanilla.
- Add the carrot mixture to the flour and stir until combined.
- Tip the batter into the baking tray and bake for about 45-60 minutes, until the cake is cooked through and golden. Let it cool in the tin for five minutes then turn it out to a wire rack.
