Carrot Oat Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a heavy, large saucepan, and stir in the oats. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook oats until they begin to thicken, about 10 minutes; mix in the apple, carrot, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Let the oats simmer until tender, about 20 more minutes.
• While the oats are simmering, melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and stir in the pecans. Toast the nuts until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 5 minutes, then sprinkle with brown sugar and stir until sugar has melted and coated the pecans.
• Serve in bowls, each topped with about 2 tablespoons of the pecan mixture and a dollop of yogurt.

Steps:

• For the cream cheese topping: Combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.
• For the carrot cake baked oatmeal: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the oats and pecans in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and toss until the oats and pecans are lightly toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly while the oven preheats.
• To the skillet with the oats and pecans, add the carrots, raisins, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg and 1/2 cup brown sugar and toss to combine. In a large spouted measuring cup, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Pour over the oat mixture. Stir and toss to combine well, making sure all of the oats are evenly distributed in the egg mixture.
• Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Dollop dots of the cream cheese topping over the surface of the oatmeal. Bake until the oatmeal is set and slightly puffed and the top is golden and caramelized, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• The night before you want to eat the oats, combine the milk, oats, brown sugar, vanilla, carrots and a pinch of salt in a glass pint jar or other container with a lid. Secure the lid and shake. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• In the morning, top the oats with the coconut, raisins, walnuts and cinnamon. To serve, drizzle with honey if using.
