Ingredients for this recipe

Oats: Use rolled oats. Ensure your oats are gluten-free.

Eggs: We’ve used two medium-sized eggs at room temperature.

Shredded carrot: Finely shredded carrots for best results.

Spices: We’ve used cinnamon and ground nutmeg.

Pecans: Add chopped pecans on top for extra crunchiness!
