Carrot Cake Baked Oats
Instructions
1
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a small casserole dish. Mine is a unique size of 6×8 but anything close to that will work including a 9×5 bread loaf pan or an 8×8 inch brownie pan (although you might want to slightly alter the baking time depending on your size).
2
Add all ingredients to a blender MINUS the carrot and nuts. Blend until creamy and little to no chunks of the oats remain. Fold in carrots and walnuts.
3
Pour batter into the greased baking dish and top with additional shredded carrot and chopped nuts as desired. Bake for 25-30 minutes (mine was perfect at 25 minutes).
4
Unlike my original version, this one ends up closer to the consistency of oatmeal (less cakey) but it’s still SO GOOD! ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Grate Carrots Fine for Texture 🥕Use a microplane or fine grater rather than a box grater to create smaller carrot pieces that distribute evenly and keep the oats texture prominent instead of making it too cakey.
- Toast Walnuts First 🌰Lightly toast your walnuts in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before chopping and adding to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy during baking.
- Use a Ripe Banana as Your Binder 🍌Mash the banana thoroughly until completely smooth to create a cohesive batter that helps bind the oats while the natural sweetness reduces the need for excess maple syrup.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Fold ingredients together gently just until combined; overmixing activates the gluten in oats and can make the final texture dense and cakey rather than light and oat-forward.
- Check Doneness with a Toothpick 🔍Insert a toothpick in the center during the last 5 minutes of baking—it should come out with just a few moist crumbs, not completely clean, to maintain the oaty texture as it cools.
