Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup Carrots, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.
Stir in the grated carrots, raisins, and nuts if using until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack.
Once completely cool, cut into 12 bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
