Description
This Easy Flourless Oatmeal Carrot Cake is a healthy, delicious treat that’s naturally sweetened with honey and made without refined sugar or flour. It’s the perfect snack, breakfast, or dessert for the whole family.
Ingredients
2 eggs
½ cup honey (or maple syrup)
2 medium carrots, shredded
1 cup oats (quick oats work best)
½ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp cinnamon
¼ cup butter, room temperature (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 7×7-inch (or similar size) baking pan with parchment paper.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or using a hand blender, combine all ingredients except the shredded carrots. Blend until smooth.
- Stir in the Carrots: Once the mixture is smooth, stir in the shredded carrots until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool before slicing and enjoying!
- Optional Cream Cheese Frosting: Combine cream cheese, honey, and a splash of vanilla extract. Spread the frosting on top once the cake has cooled for an extra treat!
Notes
Maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly option.
Coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
Gluten-free oats to keep it entirely gluten-free.
