Carrot Cake Oatmeal Bake

 

Getting veggies and fiber in at breakfast is amazing. This recipe tastes great and is a great way to use up that bumper crop of zucchini that comes in at the end of the summer. 

Carrot Cake Oatmeal Bake

Ingredients:

2 cups oats

2 cups almond milk (or other milk)

1/4 cup almond butter

2 tbsp maple syrup

2 tsp vanilla

2 medium carrots, grated

1 cup grated zucchini

2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup walnuts

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

pinch of salt

Directions: 

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees

2. Combine all ingredients. (I just dumped them all directly in the pan and stirred it with a fork) I used a medium oval baker. You can use a 9x9 square pan too.

3. Bake for 35-40 minutes. We enjoyed this both warm and cold. You can add yogurt or fruit to your liking.
