Porridge Cake

This cake is so simple, healthy, tasty and versatile. I like to make it first thing in the morning and while it’s cooking I’m doing my yoga practice. Or you you make it the day before to have a nourishing and filling breakfast to have on the go.

Using simple and local ingredients it is packed with fibre, vitamins, minerals and so much goodness.

Ingredients:

200g Oats (rolled)

2 cups of water (can use milk for more creaminess)

1 large carrot (grated including skin)

1 large apple (grated including skin)

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon cardamon (optional)

50g of Honey/Maple syrup/Coconut Sugar/Sugar

2 eggs  (can replace with Flax egg to make vegan – recipe HERE)

Method:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 F / gas mark 6)

Mix oats and water together. Set aside.

Grate carrot and apple and add.

Add spices.

Add eggs and mix well.

Place in a lined tin (loaf or cake tin) and bake for 35-45 minutes until middle feels relatively firm. The cake will be moist.

Allow it to cool, slice and serve.

For a treat make it with banana and peanut butter instead of carrot and apple!

Serve warm with some yogurt and drizzle of syrup.
