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:

  1. Pulse the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a coarse, flour-like consistency.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blended oats, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  3. Fold in the melted coconut oil, honey, and eggs, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the finely shredded carrots until evenly distributed.
  5. Spread the batter into an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  6. 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.
  7. While the cake cools, whip together the softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until velvety.
  8. Once the cake is completely cooled to the touch, spread the frosting evenly across the top.
