Instructions

 

• First, preheat your oven on 180 ℃ / 350℉. Line a cake pan with baking or parchment paper, then lightly spray it with oil to make it easy to remove the bread.

  Fine chop some walnuts and set them aside.
  1 cup walnuts
  
• Now, shred the carrots using a grater.

  You can peel the carrots before grating, or leave the peel on for extra fiber—I’m leaving the peel on.
  2 cup grated carrots
  
• Next, use a grinder to make your own oat flour by grinding oats.
  2 cup oats
  
• It's easy to make oat flour using oats.
  
• Instead of the usual method, start by taking a large mixing bowl and adding all the dry ingredients along with the grated carrot. Mix everything together really well before incorporating the wet ingredients.
  2 cup grated carrots, 2 cup oats, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt, 1 tbsp cinnamon powder, ½ tbsp vanilla extract
  
• Add the egg, oil, vanilla extract, and milk.
  3 eggs, ¼ cup coconut oil, ½ cup oat milk
  
• Then stir thoroughly.
  
• Now mix in half of the walnuts and the protein powder until well combined.
  ¼ cup protein powder, 1 cup walnuts
  
• It’s time to bake! Pour the batter into a prepared bread tin, ensuring the edges are evenly filled. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top of the carrot batter.
  
• Bake the carrot bread on 180℃ / 350℉ for 40 to 45 minutes or until they turn nice and golden on the edges. You can check if it's ready by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean then your cake ready. Otherwise, bake a few more minutes.
  
• Once baked, let the bread cool completely before making the slices.

  Now you and your family can enjoy a healthy and delicious carrot cake at home.

  Enjoy! 😊
