• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 carrots, grated
• 2 apples, grated
• Walnuts to taste for garnish

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven: Turn the oven to 350°F (180°C) so it’s ready while you prepare the mixture.
2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the plain yogurt and honey until smooth.
3. Integrate the carrots and apples: Add the carrots and grated apples to the wet mixture. Stir well to distribute evenly.
4. Add the oats: Incorporate the oats a little at a time. Mix until all the ingredients are well integrated.
5. Prepare the pan: Grease a pie pan with a little oil or cover it with baking paper.
6. Pour in the mixture: Fill the pan with the mixture and make sure to level it so that it cooks evenly.
7. Garnish with walnuts: Place the walnuts on top of the mixture as a garnish, or chop and scatter if you prefer.
8. Bake: Take the pan to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before unmolding.

Additional tips:

• Substitutions: If you prefer a vegan version, replace the eggs with hydrated chia or flaxseeds, and the yogurt with a plant-based one.
• Add flavor: You can incorporate spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for a more aromatic touch.
• Extra texture: Mix some raisins or dark chocolate chunks into the batter for an interesting contrast.
• Storage: Store cake in an airtight container; It can last up to 3 days at room temperature or a week in the refrigerator.
