This easy-baked oatmeal recipe has been a staple since my first Cookbook came out in 2018. If you are a carrot cake lover I know you will absolutely love this new variation.
I have been eating so healthy lately to feel fabulous for an upcoming vacation to Turks and Caicos. I have been feeling so incredible that it has motivated me to really stick with it. One day I had a craving for carrot cake, and decided to try out a healthy baked oatmeal version with a creamy topping that would give my body nutrients and satisfy my craving. It totally worked and I have to share this awesome new recipe with all of you.
I love to meal prep these baked oatmeal recipes for a simple, high-protein breakfast in the morning. Make it the night before and store in fridge.
