Carrot Cake N’Oatmeal [Paleo, keto, sugar-free, dairy-free & vegan options]

Creamy, flavourful, carrot cake ‘oats’!

You guys have been waiting for this recipe & I am SO excited to finally share it on here! I have been LOVING these keto carrot cake oats this week & I am hopeful that you will too!

I used Vital Proteins collagen in this recipe, but they are totally optional & will work without adding collagen as well! I love the little protein boost from the collagen & it’s is also amazing for hair, skin, & nails as well! Feel free to add protein powder if you would like as well, but keep in mind this will slightly change the flavour.

I used Lakanto’s sugar-free maple syrup in this recipe, but you can use real maple syrup, Lakanto’s golden sweetener, or whatever sweetener you prefer. I use Lakanto products because they don’t upset my stomach, or raise my blood sugar levels, & they keep my recipes sugar-free!

I used my homemade hazelnut milk in this recipe as well, which I highly recommend! The recipe is on my Instagram page & in my highlights! It’s actually super easy to make & so worth it! Plus you save $$.

I topped these oats with my sugar-free cream cheese icing, but you can top them with more almond butter, syrup, or whatever you would like! I also have a vegan sugar-free cream cheese icing that is also delicious which I will link here for you!

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan over low/medium heat add the cauliflower, pink salt & 1/2 cup of water. Cover & let the cauliflower steam/soften for a few minutes. Check it regularly to see when the desired texture is achieved. I steamed it until the cauliflower was soft but still somewhat dense, as this is the texture I prefer. You may need to add a bit more water or milk if you like a softer texture.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients you are using, along with the other half of the water/nut milk & reduce to a simmer. Allow the 'oats' to simmer for several minutes, until the water is absorbed & the desired texture is achieved.
3. If your oats aren't thickening as much as you prefer, add another tbsp of flax-meal & let it absorb. If you want to thin it out add a few more tbsp of water or nut milk until your desired consistency is reached.
4. When the texture & consistency is achieved that you prefer, remove the oats from the heat & top with your toppings of choice! I added a bit more grated carrot, pecans, sugar-free syrup & my homemade sugar-free cream cheese icing (linked above as well is a vegan icing option)!
