It’s rich in vitamin A, which is an essential vitamin for eye health. They are packed with antioxidants and help reduce inflammation and improve immunity.

I often bake my famous oat flour carrot cake and it is a favorite. Recently, we developed our love for carrot cake pancakes and carrot cake overnight oats. 

Health benefits of oats

Oats are complex carbohydrates that are high in fiber. It’s also a good source of protein and is beneficial for weight loss programs because oats keep you full for longer. Oats are also rich in iron, magnesium and zinc which are essential vitamins and minerals for overall well being and good health.

I like to make oatmeal protein balls for snacks. Masala oatmeal is our favorite lunch option. Blueberry oatmeal cookies are excellent healthy dessert.

Ingredients

Ingredients notes 

Carrots – Regular carrots bring out the best flavors. If you want to use baby carrots then use upto 1 cup for this recipe.

Oats – I used rolled oats which help in thickening as well as add more fiber and complex carbohydrates to it. 

Dates – Dates are high in fiber and very nutritious. They also bring out the best flavors in this recipe. However, you may add maple syrup to sweeten it if desired. Frozen banana also helps thicken it while also sweetening at the same time.

Spices – Warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom taste great while making it aromatic. 

Almond milk – Any plant milk of your choice works in this recipe.

Toppings – You can be creative with the toppings but I like to add chia seeds, hemp seeds, walnuts and shredded coconut for the best taste.
