Carrot cake baked oatmeal - the meal prep manual

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, protein powder, spices and baking powder.

Step 3

Wash and shred/grate your carrots into small pieces. I use the small shredding side of my cheese grater for this. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the carrots and mix.

Step 4

In the bowl with the carrots, add the butter, egg whites, syrup, milk. Pour in the dry ingredients and mix to combine.

Step 5

Spray a 13"x9" pan with oil and add the oat mixture. Spread evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Step 7

Melt the cream cheese and mix in the yogurt and splenda.

Step 8

Place into a ziplock bag (or piping bag) and set aside.

Step 9

This recipe makes 6 servings. Cut the oatmeal into 6 equal pieces. Once the oatmeal bake has cooled a bit, top with the frosting. I frost my oatmeal the day I cook it, it is probably better to keep your frosting in the fridge and frost the day of eating but it doesn't make a huge difference.

Step 10

I think adding some raisins and walnuts would be a nice addition, however I left them out of the recipe because it seems like I am in the minority for adding raisins specifically. Add them if you want.
