Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup cane sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup grated carrots

For the Frosting:

3 oz cream cheese
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp milk of choice
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together quick oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cane sugar and vanilla. Stir until well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients, add in the grated carrots, and mix everything until just combined.
Pour the oat mixture into a prepared 8x8-inch baking dish and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the carrot cake bars sit for 5 minutes then remove from pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. If you cut them too warm, they may crumble easier.
While the bars are cooling, add cream cheese to a small bowl and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Add in the maple syrup, a tablespoon of milk and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla and whisk together until smooth. Feel free to add more milk a teaspoon at a time until you get your desired consistency.
Slice the bars into 16 pieces and drizzle the cream cheese frosting over top, enjoy!
