Equipment

  • 9x13-inch casserole dish

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, nonfat or low-fat
  • 2 cups almond milk, or any milk of choice
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups finely grated carrots, loosely packed
  • ½ cup raisins or chopped dates
  • ½ cup roughly chopped pecans or walnuts

Cream Cheese Glaze (optional)

  • ¼ cup lite cream cheese, softened at room temperature
  • 1 ½ tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉. Mist a 9×13-inch casserole dish with oil spray.
  • Add all the wet ingredients directly to the casserole dish: Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup or honey, vanilla, and the eggs (crack eggs in and whisk with a fork to break the yolks and lightly beat before mixing in with the other ingredients). Stir until mostly smooth; small yogurt lumps are fine.
  • Add the dry ingredients: oats, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, grated carrots, and optional raisins/dates/nuts. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
  • Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes to slight firm and set. Then slice into 6 squares, and top with an optional spoonful of cream cheese frosting or Greek yogurt.

Notes

For smooth glaze, make sure the cream cheese is very soft. If dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt. Can store leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze individual squares for up to 2 months.
