DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350⁰ F. Grind the oats into a flour.
2. Then add it to all of the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
3. For the pureed carrots, it is easiest to purchase baby food; it is pure carrot puree. Mix everything evenly.
4. Spray a bread loaf pan with nonstick spray and pour the batter in. Bake at 350⁰ F for 25-27 minutes.
5. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then cut into 12 slices. Enjoy.

If dairy free, omit the whey protein entirely.
