Try these sweet and healthy carrot cake baked oats just once, and you’ll still be making them for breakfast long after Easter is over!

As someone who loves both carrot cake and baked oatmeal, it was only natural to combine the two for breakfast.

Why choose, when you can have both"""

And this is no ordinary carrot cake baked oatmeal. Press your spoon into the top of the oat cake to reveal a thick layer of cream cheese frosting hidden inside!

Ingredients for carrot cake baked oats

Shredded carrot: I find it easiest to finely shred carrots in a food processor or in a single serving blender like a Magic Bullet. It can also be done by hand.
Oats: These can be traditional rolled oats or quick oats. I have not tried the recipe with steel cut oats so cannot say whether those would work. If you prefer to use oat flour, substitute a scant half cup of oat flour for the rolled or quick cooking oats.

For the filling: Feel free to use store bought cream cheese, softened coconut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, or homemade Vegan Cream Cheese.

Other ingredients: Besides what is listed above, the recipe also calls for pure vanilla extract, baking powder, ground cinnamon, milk (plant based options are fine), sugar or sweetener of choice (liquid, powdered, or granulated), and a pinch of salt.
