Instructions
0 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 1 Bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Add [wprm-ingredient text="3/4 cup uncooked quinoa" uid="2"] to the boiling water then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 more minutes but keep an eye on it. It's done when the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Immediately take off the heat and fluff with a fork. Pour this into a 9x13 casserole dish (or similar size, it doesn't need to be exactly that size). [wprm-ingredient text="1 cups rolled oats" uid="1"] 2 To the same dish with the quinoa, add the [wprm-ingredient text="1 cups rolled oats" uid="1"] (uncooked), [wprm-ingredient text="2 large carrots shredded" uid="3"], [wprm-ingredient text="1.5 c plain non-fat greek yogurt" uid="4"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 c egg whites" uid="5"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ c chia seeds" uid="6"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ c hemp seeds" uid="7"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 tbsp monk fruit maple syrup" uid="8"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 cup soy milk" uid="9"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 tsp vanilla extract" uid="10"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 tsp cinnamon" uid="11"], [wprm-ingredient text="3/4 tsp ground ginger" uid="12"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ tsp ground cardamom" uid="13"], [wprm-ingredient text="Zest from half an orange" uid="14"], and [wprm-ingredient text="½ tsp salt" uid="15"]. Mix well.These baked oats are not that sweet (I like to top with maple syrup). So if you like things sweet, I recommend adding more maple syrup or vanilla greek yogurt. You can also mix in some white chocolate chips. 3 Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is just set. 4 Meanwhile, mix together the [wprm-ingredient text="4 oz whipped cream cheese" uid="18"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ c plain non fat greek yogurt" uid="19"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 tbsp monk fruit maple syrup" uid="20"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 tsp vanilla extract" uid="21"], and [wprm-ingredient text="¼ tsp salt" uid="22"]. Once the baked oats are out of the oven, top each piece with a bit of frosting and some pecans and enjoy! If you plan to meal prep the oats, keep the frosting separate in an air tight container until ready to eat.View original recipe
