I wanted to make a healthy dessert using leftover ingredients from the fridge, so I came up with this carrot cake recipe, adapted from a banana cake I shared earlier.

Steps

1

Chop the carrots and slice 1 banana into small pieces. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
2

Prepare the wet ingredients by blending 1 banana, yogurt, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract in a blender.
3

Prepare the dry ingredients by mixing oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon powder (add 1 tablespoon erythritol if you want it sweeter) until well combined.
4

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing well. Add the chopped banana and carrots, reserving some banana slices for decorating the cake. Pour the mixture into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. I use a deep ceramic dish. Decorate the cake as desired.
5

Bake in a convection oven at 300°F (150°C) for 20 minutes. Test with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, lower the heat and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
6

To make the sauce, put yogurt in a bowl and gradually add milk, stirring continuously. Be careful not to add too much milk, as the yogurt should not become too runny.
