Carrot cake for breakfast? This Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal takes all those familiar flavors—carrots, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, and warm spices—and turns them into a hearty breakfast you can make once and enjoy throughout the week.

The base is made with oats and oat flour, giving you plenty of whole grains along with fiber and plant protein. Shredded carrots add natural sweetness and beta-carotene, while walnuts add a little crunch and healthy unsaturated fats. Applesauce and a touch of maple syrup bring everything together without the need for added oil.

It’s also easy to make it exactly how you like it. Bake it for about 30 minutes for a softer oatmeal you can scoop into a bowl, or leave it in a little longer for a firmer, sliceable breakfast bake. Make a pan on the weekend, and you’ve got breakfast ready to go for the next several days.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish.
