# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat an 8.5x8.5-inch baking dish with butter or oil.
02 -
Grab your baking dish and beat applesauce with eggs until they're mixed well. Pour in honey, milk and vanilla extract, then stir everything until it looks smooth.
03 -
Dump in oats, collagen powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and ground ginger into your wet stuff. Stir everything up good so it's all mixed together.
04 -
Gently stir in your shredded carrots and any raisins, walnuts, or coconut shreds you want to add. Stick it in the oven for 25-30 minutes until it's golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean when you poke it.
05 -
While it's cooking, make your frosting by mixing Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey and vanilla in a small bowl until it looks smooth and creamy.
06 -
Let your oatmeal cool a bit before spreading that yogurt frosting on top. Cut it into 6 pieces and dig in.
# Notes:
01 -
You can swap collagen powder with protein powder or just more oats if you need to.
02 -
You can keep this in your fridge for about 5 days.
