Ingredients

✔️ 2 ripe bananas, mashed
✔️ 1/2 cup Vanilla Cake Batter Protein
✔️ 1 cup milk of choice

Picture it: a Tuesday morning, you're still half-asleep, and somehow you've got a slice of carrot cake in your hand that's actually breakfast. That's the magic of these Carrot Cake Baked Oats ✨

Soft, cinnamony, ridiculously meal-prep friendly, and loaded with 20g+ protein per serve so you're full 'til lunch (no 10am hanger allowed). We snuck a scoop of our Vanilla Cake Batter Protein in there for that proper cake batter flavour, because breakfast should feel like a treat, not a chore.

Basically dessert dressed up as breakfast. We don't make the rules, we just bake them 🥕

Method

1. Preheat Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking dish.

2. Mix the base In a large bowl, combine the oats, mashed banana, protein powder, milk, baking powder, cinnamon and mixed spice until well combined.

3. Fold it through Gently fold through the grated carrot, coconut and raisins.

4. Pour and top Pour the mixture into your lined baking dish, then dollop the Greek yoghurt across the top and swirl gently for that marbled bakery look.

5. Bake Bake for 35-40 minutes, until set and lightly golden on top.

6. Serve Top with your favourite extras and dig in!

Nutrition

Each serve packs 20g+ of protein and wholesome carbs from the oats and banana, so it's the kind of breakfast that actually keeps you full, not just the kind that looks good for five minutes before the hunger creeps back in.

Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Two ways to enjoy round two:

  • Microwave for ~1 minute for warm, fresh-from-the-oven vibes
  • Eat it cold, straight from the fridge, for a carrot cake cheesecake situation you didn't know you needed

Our favourite way to serve it? Warm, with extra yoghurt, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of nut butter. Elite combo, no notes 😮💨

A Little Final Note

Breakfast doesn't have to be boring to be good for you, and this one's proof. Soft, spiced, protein-packed and secretly cake-flavoured, it's the kind of recipe you'll want on repeat all week. Give it a go and let us know what you think, BB's 🥕✨

FAQs about this recipe

  • Yes! Our Vanilla Cake Batter Protein gives that classic cake vibe, but a plain or cinnamon-style protein would work beautifully too.

  • Absolutely, just swap the milk for your favourite plant-based option and use a dairy-free yoghurt.

  • Totally, swap them for chopped walnuts or leave them out altogether if they're not your thing.

  • Fresh grated carrot works best for moisture and texture, pre-shredded bagged carrot can be a little dry.

  • Yes! Slice into portions and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or microwave straight from frozen.
