With this baked oats recipe, you can transform carrot cake into a healthy meal-prep breakfast! While a whole jar of applesauce and eggs serve as a moist base, grated carrots, rolled oats, pineapple, cinnamon, and candied ginger create a sweet, spicy, and moist breakfast cake. Once baked, you can store this baked oatmeal in the refrigerator for up to a week. In the morning, it's best to reheat it in the microwave and serve it with Greek yogurt for a creamy component and extra protein.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Moisture Magic 💦Grate carrots finely and pat them dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture from making the baked oatmeal soggy while maintaining optimal texture.
- Ginger Intensity Control 🌶️Finely mince the candied ginger to distribute its spicy-sweet flavor evenly throughout the baked oatmeal, preventing overwhelming bite-sized heat pockets.
- Overnight Prep Perfection 🌙Assemble the baked oatmeal the night before and refrigerate overnight, allowing the oats to fully absorb the liquid and develop deeper, more complex flavors.
- Toasting Nut Technique 🥜Lightly toast the walnuts before adding them to the mix to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a satisfying crunch that complements the soft oatmeal texture.
- Storage Strategy 🧊Portion the baked oatmeal into individual containers before refrigerating to make morning reheating quick and easy, ensuring a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
