Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup finely grated carrot
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans, plus extra for topping
  • For serving: Greek yogurt, cream cheese, or maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, whisk together oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. Stir in grated carrot, egg, milk, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until combined. Fold in walnuts if using.
  3. Pour batter into a greased 10-oz ramekin. Bake 23-25 minutes until set and golden.
  4. Let rest 1 minute, then top with yogurt and walnuts. Serve warm.

Notes

For the best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats. If doubling, divide batter between two dishes and bake the same time. The oven does the work, but a quick 10-minute prep makes this a realistic weekday treat.
