Ingredients:
- 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
- 1.5 cups (170g) finely shredded carrots
- 2 large (100g) eggs
- 1/3 cup (80ml) honey
- 1/4 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (1g) ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 4 oz (115g) softened cream cheese
- 2 tbsp (30ml) honey
- 1/2 tsp (2g) vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Pulse the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a coarse, flour-like consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blended oats, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
- Fold in the melted coconut oil, honey, and eggs, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold in the finely shredded carrots until evenly distributed.
- Spread the batter into an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the sides and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake cools, whip together the softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until velvety.
- Once the cake is completely cooled to the touch, spread the frosting evenly across the top.
