Ingredients:

• 2 cups grated carrots (about 3 large carrots)
• 1 cup oats (rolled or quick oats)
• 1/2 cup almond flour (or any flour of choice)
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, stir oats, almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and Whey Protein. Mix well.

4. Mix Together: Add the dry bowl to the wet bowl. Stir until the mix holds. If you add walnuts, mix in now.
