Recipe Ingredients & Swaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oats<\/strong>: I like to use\u00a0rolled\u00a0oats for baked oatmeal recipes because they add chewiness and texture. Instant oats will work too, but the texture will be different\u2014think cakier. You can also make a carrot cake with\u00a0oat flour\u00a0(oats ground in a processor)\u2014a take on carrot cake baked with oats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egg<\/strong>: Adds structure and binds it all together. If you want to make eggless carrot cake baked oats, flax eggs <\/strong>will work in a cinch. Psyllium husk also works beautifully. I\u2019ve tried it for my\u00a0banana-baked oatmeal recipe<\/a>\u00a0(mix 2 tablespoons of the husk with 5 tablespoons of water. Wait till thick and gelatinous.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweetener<\/strong>: Maple syrup is my choice because of its mild taste. You can substitute it with honey, agave syrup, date syrup, or regular sugar if you don\u2019t have any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons:<\/strong> Raisins and walnuts are the typical choices for healthy carrot cake oats, so that\u2019s what I used for this healthy and easy-baked oatmeal. Feel free to customize with your favorite nuts or exclude them altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spices<\/strong>: I stayed true to the timeless duo that defines the beloved carrot cake:<\/a> cinnamon and ginger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract<\/strong>: to give the baked oatmeal more flavor.\u00a0You can use homemade vanilla extract<\/a>\u00a0or store-bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk<\/strong>: I used almond milk<\/a> here. But feel free to use your choice of milk. Creamy cashew milk<\/a>, oat milk<\/a> or regular dairy milk, all will work here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrots<\/strong>: Use fresh, not frozen, and grate them with a box grater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt<\/strong>: To balance flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
