INGREDIENTES:
- 🌾 80 g de copos de avena (1 taza)
- 🧂 Una pizca de sal
- 🍚 10 g de harina de coco (o harina de avena) (1 cucharada y 1/4)
- ✨ 5 g de levadura en polvo (1 cucharadita)
- 🍂 1/2 cucharadita de canela
- 🥚 2 huevos medianos
- 🍯 35 g de edulcorante (stevia, eritritol o tu opción preferida) (2 cucharadas y 3/4)
- 🧈 15 g de mantequilla derretida (o aceite de coco) (1 cucharada)
- 🍏 1 manzana
- 🥕 1 zanahoria mediana
- 🌰 30 g de nueces picadas (4 cucharadas)
INSTRUCCIONES:
1. Preparación de la masa:
En un tazón grande, mezcla los copos de avena, la pizca de sal, la harina de coco (o harina de avena), la levadura en polvo y la canela. Asegúrate de que todos los ingredientes secos estén bien combinados.
2. Incorporar ingredientes líquidos:
Añade los huevos y el edulcorante a la mezcla seca, y remueve bien hasta integrar. Luego, incorpora la mantequilla derretida (o aceite de coco) y mezcla nuevamente hasta obtener una masa homogénea.
3. Agregar la fruta y las nueces:
Ralla la manzana y la zanahoria directamente sobre el tazón con la masa. Añade las nueces picadas y mezcla todo hasta que esté bien integrado. La masa quedará húmeda pero manejable.
4. Cocción:
Vierte la mezcla en un molde de 18×13 cm (7×5 pulgadas) previamente engrasado o forrado con papel pergamino. Decora la superficie con nueces picadas adicionales si lo deseas.
5. Horneado:
Hornea en un horno precalentado a 180°C (360°F) durante 35 minutos, o hasta que el pastel esté dorado y cocido en el centro. Realiza la prueba del palillo: inserta un palillo en el centro; si sale limpio, el pastel está listo.
CONSEJOS Y VARIACIONES:
- Endulzantes alternativos: Usa miel, jarabe de arce o dátiles triturados si prefieres un toque más natural de dulzura.
- Frutos secos: Cambia las nueces por almendras, avellanas o pacanas según tu preferencia.
- Sin gluten: Asegúrate de usar copos de avena certificados sin gluten si necesitas evitar esta proteína.
- Versión vegana: Sustituye los huevos por una mezcla de linaza + agua (1 cucharada de linaza + 2.5 cucharadas de agua = 1 huevo). Usa aceite de coco en lugar de mantequilla.
- Decoración extra: Espolvorea coco rallado o canela adicional sobre el pastel antes de hornear para darle un toque especial.
