Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender
  • Small oven-safe dish (ramekin)
  • Small Bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

FOR THE OATS

  • 0.5 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.125 tsp ground ginger
  • 0.125 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.33 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp shredded carrots
  • 1 tbsp chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1 tbsp raisins (optional)

FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

  • 0.33 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free powdered sugar (or regular powdered sugar)
  • 1.5 tbsp light cream cheese softened

Instructions
 

  • Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small oven-safe dish (like a ramekin) with cooking spray.
  • Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, add the gluten-free rolled oats and blend until they become a fine, powdery flour.
  • Mix the Batter: Next, add all the remaining "FOR THE OATS" ingredients to the blender (except for the shredded carrots, pecans, and raisins). Blend until everything is smooth and perfectly combined.
  • Add Ins & Bake: Pour the oat batter into your greased oven-safe dish. Gently fold in the shredded carrots, chopped pecans, and raisins. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the oats are set and lightly golden.
  • Whip the Frosting: While your oats are baking, prepare your delicious frosting! In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar until it's smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness if you like!
  • Cool & Serve: Once baked, remove the carrot cake oats from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Frost & Enjoy: Spoon the prepared cream cheese frosting generously over the cooled baked oats. For an extra touch, sprinkle with a few more shredded carrots, pecans, or raisins if desired! Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, cake-like breakfast.
