Method
 

Preheat & Prep
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line a muffin tin with liners.
Make Oat Flour
  1. In a food processor or high-speed blender, process the rolled oats until they reach a fine flour-like consistency.

Mix Together

Add Carrots & Optional Add-ins

Bake
  1. Pour the batter into your prepared pan or divide evenly among muffin cups, then bake for 25-30 minutes for a loaf or 20-25 minutes for muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool
