Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Add all ingredients for the baked oatmeal in a large bowl and stir until combined.

Step 3

Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check it around 45 minutes and if the top is getting too brown, cover with foil for the remaining time. The baked oatmeal will still be a little soft to the touch but should be cooked through and not jiggly in the middle.

Step 4

While the oatmeal is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the whipped cream cheese, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla in a small bowl.

Step 5

Remove baked oatmeal from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes to cool before serving. Drizzle some of the glaze over each portion when serving.

Step 6

Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Step 7

To reheat the whole baked oatmeal, cover with foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. For individual portions, set oven (or toaster oven) to 350°F and bake for 5-10 minutes or reheat in the microwave for 1 minute.
