"Carrot cake" baked oats

This recipe is a carrot cake version of baked oats - and a case of when it is perfectly fine to have cake for breakfast, snack, lunch or dinner. If you like baked oats and you like carrot cake, this one is a winner. My son Henry loves it, without the yoghurt topping though. And yes, it is fine for kids to eat protein powder in small amounts if you use it, but I wouldn't give it to babies / very young children. This cake is a healthy mix of ingredients which will leave you full and satisfied!

Ingredients:

• 2 bananas mashed

• 200g oats

• 480ml milk - any choice

• 30g vanilla protein powder (optional, reduce milk to around 400ml if not using)

• 1-2 tbsp honey

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 50g nuts of your choice

• 1 smallish carrot, grated

• Greet yoghurt and extra nuts

Method:

• Add all the ingredients (except the topping ones) in to a baking dish and mix well

• Bake at 180 degrees for around 30-35 min (might have to test to see if liquid has absorbed)

• Allow to cool, and then cover with toppings

• If you aren't going to eat all at once, I'd save adding the topping until when you're ready to eat a slice :)
