🥣 Preparation Guide
1. Prep the Base
-
Soak: In a medium bowl, mix the 1 cup of oatmeal with the 100 ml of water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften.
-
Flax Egg (Optional): If you want more binding, mix the 2 tbsp of flax seeds with a little water first, or just stir them directly into the oats.
2. The “Wet” Ingredients
-
Grate & Mash: Grate the 2 apples (you can leave the skin on for extra fiber) and mash the banana until smooth.
-
Combine: Add the 2 eggs, vanilla sugar, mashed banana, and grated apples to the oatmeal mixture. Stir well.
3. Flavor & Texture
-
Chocolatey Goodness: Sift in the 2 tbsp of cocoa powder to avoid lumps and mix until the batter is a uniform chocolate color.
-
The Mix-ins: Fold in the 80g of raisins and 80g of chopped peanuts. This provides that great contrast of chewy and crunchy.
4. Bake
-
Preheat: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
Pan/Muffins: As seen in your photo, you can use a muffin tin for individual portions or a lined square baking dish.
-
Time: Bake for 25–30 minutes. They should feel firm to the touch but still moist inside.
✨ Pro-Tip
For that professional look in the photo, let them cool completely and lightly dust the tops with a little powdered sugar or extra cocoa powder before serving.
