Ingredients

FOR OATS

  • ½ cup certified gluten-free oats
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp ginger powder
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp shredded carrots
  • 1 tbsp pecans chopped
  • 1 tbsp raisins

FOR CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free powdered sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp cream cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease a small oven safe dish.
  • Blend your oats on high in a high powered blender to create a fine flour. Then add all remaining ingredients for oats except the carrots, pecans and raisins.
  • Pour batter into the greased oven safe dish, add in the carrots, pecans and raisins and mix around.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • While oats are baking, make the cream cheese protein frosting by mixing the greek yogurt, cream cheese and powdered sugar in a small bowl. Taste and adjust flavours if you want it more/less sweet.
  • Remove baked oats from oven, let cool slightly, and top with frosting. Add more shredded carrots, pecans and raisins to frosting if desired!

Notes

I used PEScience Snickerdoodle flavour protein powder - a little over 1/3 cup protein. You can use code BAILEY at checkout to try for yourself.
