A moist, spiced carrot cake made with oats instead of flour — naturally sweetened, gluten-free, and perfect for breakfast or snack time.
2 cups rolled oats (blended into flour)
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
2 eggs
⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
½ cup Greek yogurt or unsweetened applesauce
1½ cups finely grated carrots
2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: ½ cup walnuts, ⅓ cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350°F and line or grease an 8×8-inch pan.
Mix wet ingredients: eggs, syrup, yogurt, vanilla, and carrots.
In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, baking powder, soda, spices, and salt.
Stir dry ingredients into wet until combined. Fold in add-ins.
Pour into pan and bake 30–35 minutes. Cool before slicing.
Optional: top with Greek yogurt, cream cheese, or cinnamon dusting.
