Flourless Carrot & Oat Cake (No Oven!)

This nutrient-dense cake matches the texture shown in your latest image. It is incredibly moist and dense.

Ingredients

  • The Base: 120g oat flakes, 200ml hot milk, 2 bananas (mashed), 2 large carrots (grated), 40g cocoa powder (for a chocolate version) or 1 tsp cinnamon (for traditional), 1 tsp baking powder, walnuts, and chocolate chips.

  • The Topping: 100g Greek yogurt or cream cheese, 1 tbsp honey, and extra grated carrots for garnish.

Instructions

  1. Soak: Pour the hot milk over the oat flakes and let them sit for 10 minutes until softened.

  2. Mash & Mix: Mash the bananas and stir them into the oats along with the grated carrots. Add the baking powder and your choice of cocoa or cinnamon.

  3. The “No-Oven” Method: Grease a non-stick frying pan. Pour the batter in, cover with a tight lid, and cook on very low heat for about 10–12 minutes per side (flip carefully using a plate).

  4. Finish: Once cooled, spread the yogurt/honey mixture on top and garnish with walnuts and fresh carrot shreds.

🥧 The Famous No-Fail Sugar Pie

This legendary “desperation pie” creates a caramel-like custard without any eggs.

Ingredients

  • Filling: 2 cups brown sugar, ½ cup flour, 1 ½ cups heavy cream, 4 tbsp butter, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch of salt.

Instructions

  1. Whisk: Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the cream, butter, and vanilla.

  2. Thicken: Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a smooth sauce.

  3. Bake: Pour into an unbaked pie shell. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25 more minutes.

  4. Set: Let it cool completely to room temperature to allow the custard to set.

🥧 Quick Apple & Raisin Tart

This matches the beautiful golden tart with fruit slices and powdered sugar.

💡 Baker’s Tip:

For the Carrot and Oat cake, if you are making the egg-free version, the mashed bananas act as the binder. Ensure your oats have fully absorbed the milk before adding the other ingredients to prevent the cake from being too wet in the center.
