Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled (old fashioned) oats
- 1 ¾ cup preferred milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
- ⅓ cup maple syup
- 1 ¼ cup finely grated carrots
- ½ cup raisins
- 2 tablespoon oil or melted butter
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Greek Yogurt "Cheese" Frosting
- ½ cup softened cream cheese
- 3 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oats, milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, chia seeds, oil, baking powder, and seasonings until well combined.
- Stir in carrots and raisins, making sure carrots are evenly distributed.
- Pour mixture into a greased 8x8 baking pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until top is lightly golden and oats are "set".
"Cheesecake" Frosting
- To a mixing bowl, combine frosting ingredients and whisk well. To make extra smooth, a hand or stand mixer works well. Place frosting in the fridge to "firm up" while oats bake.
Notes
Note: frosting will firm up as it chills. If preparing a day ahead, remove from fridge 15 minutes before using or warm in the microwave in 10 second intervals, until desired consistency is reached.
