Carrot and pumpkin sponge cake in a pan without oven!

With this recipe of carrot and pumpkin sponge cake in a frying pan without oven! You will be amazed. Besides being delicious, it is super juicy and it is the healthy version.

When I talk about healthy, I am referring to substituting foods that provide little or no nutrients for others that do.

For example, in this case, we will use whole oat flour instead of refined white flour. The former provides us with fiber, vitamins and minerals that the latter does not. The same thing happens with white sugar, they are empty calories, that is to say, they do not provide us with anything good, only calories, while panela and date powder, apart from energy, provide us with some vitamins and minerals as well.

Shall we get to it? You no longer have the excuse of not wanting to turn on the oven because energy is too expensive!

INGREDIENTS:

• 20 g. of pumpkin small pieces 
• 100 g. of carrot grated 
• 100 g. of whole oat flour
• 80 g. of panela (bread) or 40 g. +. another 40 g. date powder 
• 1 egg
• 60 gr of Aove
• 7 gr yeast ( a heaping teaspoonful)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon 
• Pinch of salt

• 1 handful of chopped almonds or walnuts 
• Dark chocolate chips 70%

.

RECIPE ELABORATION STEP BY STEP:

1. Place the peeled pumpkin in small pieces and the peeled and grated carrot in a bowl. Cover with paper and cook in the microwave for 7 minutes at high power.
2. In another bowl, add the egg, oil, panela or panela + date powder and beat by hand.
3. Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg and beat again.
4. Finally we add the pumpkin and carrot that once cooked you have to smash it a little with a fork. Beat everything until the dough is uniform and all the ingredients are well mixed.
5. Take a medium sized frying pan of about 20-22 cm in diameter. Cut out a piece of baking paper and place it to cover the pan and pour the mixture on top and put chocolate chips and chopped walnuts or almonds to taste.
6. Cook for about 30 minutes over medium heat with a lid. Be careful, the base burns easily, do not turn up the heat. It will be done when the surface dries. Touch it with your finger, and even if it is wet, your finger should not get stuck or dirty.
