Instructions

Preheat & Prep – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Combine Wet Ingredients – In another bowl, whisk the eggs, maple syrup (or honey), Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix & Fold – Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Fold in the grated carrots and raisins—don’t overmix!
Bake – Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool & Serve – Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once cooled, slice and enjoy!

Notes

For extra moisture, add ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce.
Make it nutty by swapping raisins for chopped walnuts or pecans.
For a vegan version, use flax eggs and dairy-free yogurt.
To make muffins, divide the batter into a muffin tin and bake for 18-22 minutes.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
