🥥 For the Sugar-Free Glaze (Optional):

🍽 Step-by-Step Instructions
🔥 Step 1: Prepare the Batter
1️⃣ In a large bowl, mix the mashed banana, eggs, water, and vanilla.
2️⃣ Add grated carrot and apples, stir to combine.
3️⃣ Fold in the oats, baking powder, chopped dried apricots, and sweetener.
4️⃣ Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes so the oats absorb moisture.
💡 This helps create a moist, cake-like texture without flour!
🧁 Step 2: Bake the Cake
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
2️⃣ Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
3️⃣ Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
4️⃣ Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
💡 If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
🍯 Step 3: Prepare the Glaze (Optional)
1️⃣ In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla.
2️⃣ Once the cake has cooled slightly, drizzle glaze on top.
3️⃣ Sprinkle with chopped almonds or walnuts for crunch.
🍴 Step 4: Serve & Store
✅ Slice and enjoy warm or chilled.
✅ Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
✅ Can also be frozen (without glaze) for up to 1 month.
💡 Perfect for breakfast meal prep or as a guilt-free dessert!
