Spicy Carrot Cake - oatmeal

Method

• Pulverize the oatmeal in a food processor or mill into a powder.
• Combine in a bowl with the soy milk, and let the oatmeal absorb the moisture.
• Process the carrot in a food processor until it is very finely chopped.
• Roast the walnuts in a toaster oven for 5 minutes, and chop up roughly with a knife.
• Roughly chop the raisins.
• Add the carrot, walnuts, and raisins to the bowl from Step 1, and mix well.
• Sift in the ingredients, and fold in using a rubber spatula until well incorporated.
• Fill a cake pan (or a plastic container lined with parchment paper) about 80% of the way with the batter.
• Start heating the steamer over high heat.
• When steam starts to rise, put in the pan from Step 5 and steam over high heat for 25 to 30 minutes.
• If a bamboo skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean it's done.
• Cut up and serve as-is for breakfast.
• It is not that sweet.
• Top with "Macrobiotic whipped 'cream'"to serve as dessert.
• By the way, you can use quick-cook oatmeal (on the right) or regular oatmeal (on the left).
• If you make this in small containers such as muffin tins, steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Enjoy one of these for a healthy snack!
