Healthy Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal (Vegan, No Egg)
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats gluten free if necessary
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup crushed pineapple
- ¼ cup maple syrup more if you want it more sweet
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup pecans chopped, divided
- ½ cup shredded carrots up to ½ cup more if desired
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder vegan if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Add all ingredients (excluding carrots and pecans) to a high-powered blender.
- Blend on high until well-mixed and smooth (about 60 seconds). Scrape down sides and blend again until all pieces are mixed.
- Mix in carrots and ¼ cup pecans on slowest speed until just incorporated.
- Coat an 8X8 baking dish with coconut oil or cooking spray. Add oatmeal mixture to dish and top with ¼ cup pecans. Bake at 350F for approximately 30 minutes.
Notes
- If you want to make it with cream cheese frosting, try the cream cheese frosting recipes from this healthy gingerbread loaf recipe - it's low in sugar! You could also top with vanilla Greek yogurt for some added protein.
- For easy shredded carrots try using a cheese grater. You could also buy shredded carrots but may want to chop them up a bit before adding.
- If you don't have a high speed blender, you could try a single-serve blender, an immersion blender or even a food processor.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered or single serve portions in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Reheating: This recipe is best eaten fresh from the oven. If you want to reheat them, I recommend adding a little milk or almond milk and reheating in the microwave it until your desired temperature.
- Freezing: Store cooled, baked oatmeal in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can store the whole recipe un-sliced or tightly wrap individual slices and freeze for single serve portions.
