carrot cake baked protein n'oatmeal squares recipe

I did it…a meal prep 🐰🥕🍰 BAKED N’OATMEAL but make it without oats since so many can’t do oats on their health journey. I also skip the banana…it seems like every oat recipe starts with mashed banana and I only want banana taste in my banana bread. So let’s be different. 🍑

This nourishment balance of high fiber and protein is science-backed and my fave so you can reach those feel-good health goals. Starting the day with Happy blood sugar always sets the tone for my mood and cravings for the whole day.

*If you can’t do peanut butter, swap for your fave nut butter like almond, cashew, or sunbutter for nut free.

INGREDIENTS

Dry
- 1/3 c coconut flour
- 1/4 c psyllium husk powder (chia seeds, flaxseeds, or whole psyllium husks can work but use 1/2 cup)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 c Peachie Spoon Vanilla Protein Powder
Wet
- 1 c nonfat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp butter extract)
- 1 c liquid egg whites
- 1/2 c natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 1/2 c almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 c riced cauli (frozen) or grated fresh zucchini (squeeze out juice)
- 2 large carrots, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
Optional toppings :
- Sugar-free vanilla Greek yogurt (I used 32 oz container of Chobani vanilla zero sugar as an icing for the whole recipe)
- Chopped walnuts or pecans
- Cinnamon
- Grated carrot

STEPS

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add carrots yogurt/cott cheese, pb, extract, cauli/zuchhini, and milk, Stir well. Another option is to blend the carrots and other wet ingredients in the blender, then stir in the dry. Or just mix it all in the baking dish like I did in the video (dry then wet).
Place batter into a greased 9x13 dish Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes. Cut into 6 servings for an easy prepped meal. Allow to cool before putting icing on.

How I Eat and Store Them: You can also grab a slice on the go and eat it like a bar. Mouth party perfection. Good for a week in the fridge & freezes well too. If freezing, place each slice in a baggie and microwave or bake to thaw.
