🌱 Healthy Vegan Carrot Cake Recipe 🌱

Ingredients:
1½ cups nondairy milk
4 ounces pitted dates (7 to 8 Medjools or 14 to 16 Deglet Noor), chopped
½ very ripe banana, sliced
¼ cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or seeds from 1 vanilla bean)
1¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1½ cups grated carrots (2 to 3 medium)
½ cup raisins
2 ounces walnuts, chopped (about ½ cup; optional)
Vanilla or Lemon Frosting (optional)

Instructions:
Place the nondairy milk, dates, banana, ¼ cup raisins, and vanilla into a small bowl, and set aside for at least 15 minutes (so the dates can soften).
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Grind the oats into flour with a blender. Transfer to a medium bowl, and whisk in the cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cloves.
Place the milk, dates, banana, raisins, and vanilla in the blender, and blend until smooth.
Stir the date mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Fold in the grated carrots, ½ cup raisins, and walnuts (if using).
Spoon the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is medium brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on a cooling rack. Cool completely before serving plain or with Vanilla or Lemon Frosting.
