Soak the Dried Fruits: Soak raisins and dried apricots in hot water for 5 minutes to soften them.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine oatmeal and baking powder.

Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and stir in the milk until combined.

Combine All Ingredients: Drain the soaked fruits and chop the apricots. Add them, along with the grated carrot and apple, to the oatmeal mixture. Pour the egg and milk mixture over everything and mix well.

Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or lined baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
