    Baking With Vegetables

    Do you sometimes feel that adding vegetables to your sweet bakes makes them healthy? I sure do! Although I am under no illusion that my bakes don’t contain lots of butter and sugar, cakes made with vegetables automatically feel a little innocent to me. That’s why I constantly catch myself eating Carrot Cake or Courgette and Lime Cake in bigger portions…

    Carrot Cake Flapjack: Oat Flapjack With a Difference

    This Carrot Flapjack is slightly different in texture than your usual kind. It is softer and more cake-like; less chewy. The addition of carrots brings in a bit more moisture to the mix, creating a softer oaty bar. It is also less sweet than our ‘go-to’ ‘Take-It-To-Work Flapjack‘, making it a healthier flapjack overall!

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    • oats: porridge/ rolled oats will make the best carrot flapjack.
    • carrots: topped, tailed, peeled and coarsely grated.
    • butter: we used unsalted.
    • brown sugar: we used light brown sugar but dark will work as well.
    • golden syrup: can be substituted with clear honey.
    • sultanas: or raisins.
    • walnuts: can be replaced with pecans.
    • cinnamon.
    • nutmeg.

    Method: How To Make Carrot Flapjack

    Preheat the oven to 150°C Fan. Grate the carrots coarsely, roughly chop up the walnuts and weigh out all the ingredients.

    In a bowl, mix porridge (rolled) oats, nutmeg, cinnamon, sultanas, walnuts and grated carrots.

    On low heat, stirring occasionally, heat butter, brown sugar and golden syrup in a large pan, until the butter had melted and the sugar has dissolved. Take the mixture off of the heat.

    Tip the oat mixture into the butter and mix well so all the oats are covered and sticky.

    Line a 24x24cm tin with baking parchment. Tip the flapjack mixture into the tin and flatten it out with the back of the spoon pressing firmly into all four corners.

    Carrot Flapjack pressed evenly into the baking tray.

    Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges, but still soft in the middle.

    Leave to cool in the tin, then turn out and cut your carrot cake flapjack into bars.

    Hi, I am Ieva – the face behind this blog. I live in North Wales with my husband Seb and our golden retriever Sawyer. It’s safe to say that I live and breathe food: from researching and reading about food to creating new recipes and growing vegetables to use in my cooking.  The great thing is, Seb appreciates all the good meals that are also essential at his worst ‘hangry’ moments! Somebody HAS to feed Seb…
