  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups (220g) rolled oats (old fashioned, not quick)
  • 1/2 cup chopped (55g) pecans or walnuts
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground dried ginger
  • 1/3 cup (98g) real maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (preferably 2% or whole)
  • 1 cup (slightly packed, 150g) finely grated carrots (about 2 medium large)
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp honey (or more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9 by 9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped nuts, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together maple syrup, applesauce, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Stir in the milk and grated carrots and mix well.
  4. Add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until fully combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until set in the center. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
  6. In a medium bowl, whip together cream cheese and honey until fluffy using an electric mixer.
  7. Serve warm slices of the baked oatmeal drizzled with cream cheese icing and additional honey if desired.
  8. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
