Warm up the oven:
Lightly oil or line a baking dish with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Gather the Oats:
Pulse the rolled oats until they resemble fine flour in a blender or food processor.
Whisk Together the Dry Ingredients: In a large basin, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Thoroughly combine.
In a another dish, mix together the wet ingredients: eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
Grate the apples and carrots, then mix them with the wet ingredients until they are fully combined.
Blend All Ingredients:
With a slow and steady hand, whisk in the dry ingredients until they are barely blended with the wet. The raisins or chopped nuts may be folded in if desired.
Get the baking dish ready. Pour the mixture onto it and spread it out evenly. When a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean, bake for 30–35 minutes.
Refresh and Enjoy:
Ten minutes after removing from pan, put cake to wire rack to finish cooling. Cut and serve when it has cooled.
How to Get the Most Out of It:
Just a little bit: Grate the apples and carrots finely so they mix in with the mixture and have a consistent texture.
If you find that the apples and carrots already have enough sugar in them, feel free to add more honey or maple syrup to taste.
Toss in some dried fruits, nuts, or even some dark chocolate chips to change up the taste profile of your cake.
