Carrot Cake Oat Bake
This carrot cake oat bake is fluffy and taste exactly like traditional carrot cake- but in breakfast form! With crunchy walnuts and the warm spiced flavour from the cinnamon and ginger, there is so much to love about this carrot cake oat bake. You can even triple or quadruple this recipe and make it in a baking pan and have it for a few days (if it last that long LOL). This oat bake is gluten free, refined sugar free and if you choose to use vegan yogurt then also dairy free! I topped my carrot cake oats with greek yogurt to give it that delectable ācream cheeseā feel, but a healthy version of it.Ā
The Ingredients You Will Needā¦
- 1/2 Cup Oats
- 3/4 Cup Milk (of choice)
- 2 Tbs Apple Sauce
- 1 Tbs Chia Seeds
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt

Double, Triple, Quadruple This RecipeĀ
This recipe makes 2 moderate portions. I used 2 greased oven safe ramekins to bake them in. If you want you can double, triple or quadruple this recipe. Just multiple each ingredient by 1, 2, or 3 and then pour the carrot cake oat bake into a greased baking dish. A pyrex would work great or even iv you wanted to bake them in cupcake tins and make them into carrot cake āmuffinsā that would work too.Ā
If you wanted to make carrot cake āmuffinsā I would suggest quadrupling the recipe, this should make about 12. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.Ā
