A Delicious Way to Add Some Sweetness to Your Day

Who doesn’t want to start their day with a breakfast that tastes like cake? 😂

This carrot cake baked oats recipe is naturally sweetened with maple syrup – just the right amount to add a little sweetness to your day, but not overly sweet at all (I’m not a fan of that in the morning!).

Forget the cream cheese frosting and use a little greek yoghurt to add a creamy topping (and some protein!) to this breakfast.

Fiber Rich & Just the Right Spice

The combination of oats, carrots and raisins makes this breakfast a great source of fiber.

Cinnamon gives a cozy taste and also helps support your digestive fire (agni) to breakdown ‘heavier’ foods like oats.

You can add other warm spices like nutmeg, ginger, cardamom (or even a dash of vanilla) to give this extra flavor.

These baked oats also have the BEST texture and stay together perfectly when you slice and serve.

Here’s What You Need

• Coconut oil (or butter)
• Rolled oats (gluten free if desired)
• Baking powder
• Cinnamon
• Raisins
• Grated carrot
• Maple syrup
• Eggs
• Milk of choice (almond milk, whole milk, oat milk etc)
• Greek yogurt & hemps seeds (optional for topping)

How to Make Carrot Cake Baked Oats – Step by Step
