    Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal Recipe | 5DollarDinners.com

    So we started with a baked oatmeal – Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal – and we’re ending with a baked oatmeal. Why? Because it’s a quick and easy. And fills up my little dudes!

    I recently shared on Facebook about how my little dudes were eating more than me and soon I’ll be broke. It’s a good thing I LOVE to cook and bake and know how to do it on a budget! lol

    So with these baked oatmeals I’ve been sharing…I don’t usually include a ‘cream cheese frosting or cinnamon roll drizzle’ because that would make them just too sweet for brekkie. If you wanted to make a simple cream cheese frosting with cream cheese, powdered sugar, a drop of vanilla…that would totally work for this baked oatmeal. But then you’d be having dessert instead of breakfast!

    There is a touch of sweetness from the carrots, and more from the raisins. Add in the little crunch from the chopped walnuts and you’ve got a perfect mock of carrot cake for breakfast!

    Another reason I love baked oatmeals is that they are super easy to make gluten free…just use certified GF oats & any GF flour baking blend! You end up with a filling GF breakfast/snack that doesn’t cost a fortune!

      This dish is outstanding! I’ve made it twice (2nd time because I was begged to bring it again!), and it’s turned out great both times. Easy to make! I love it with a little sweet glaze drizzled on top or with slightly sweetened vanilla yogurt. Thanks for the recipe, Erin!
