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.
