Instructions
Preparation and Baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a small (about 7x7 inch / 18 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, add the eggs, honey, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, softened butter, and vanilla. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
Stir the shredded carrots into the batter by hand until evenly distributed.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking at 20 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature; refrigerate for up to 5 days. Can freeze for up to 2 months. For best results, do not over-blend the oats and check for doneness using a toothpick.
