After some recent health concerns, I started doing a liver detox in order to start feeling better. It involved cutting out refined sugar, caffeine, gluten, soy, and dairy.
As Americans, we do not get enough vegetables in our day, so anytime I can get some more, especially for breakfast, I’m all in.
WHY CARROT CAKE BAKED OATMEAL?
This baked oatmeal REALLY DOES TASTE LIKE CARROT CAKE! I originally ate it for breakfast, but found myself even warming some up for a mid-afternoon snack, or even dessert and the evening if I just needed a little something sweet.
INGREDIENTS IN CARROT CAKE BAKED OATMEAL
CARROTS– One large carrot shredded is equivalent to 6-8 small carrots.
BUTTER– Use melted coconut oil to replace the butter if you need dairy free.
EGGS– Help add some extra protein and help the baking process.
BAKING POWDER– Make sure it isn’t expired!
VANILLA– Be sure to use real vanilla extract not imitation. If you are wanting to be healthier and watching your ingredient list, vanilla extract is your best option.
SHREDDED COCONUT, RAISINS, and NUTS are all optional, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL OF THEM. Many times I even double the raisins because I like some extra texture.
