Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal with Cream Cheese

I’m not going to sugar-coat this: I hate these pictures. ? I planned to post this recipe ages ago, but I hated the pictures too much. However, I’m also too lazy to retake them.

Ugly pictures it is, then.

This recipe is honestly just my Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal with Tofutti* cream cheese swirled in. Ground-breaking, I know. But is there any better compliment to carrot cake than cream cheese? (Don’t you dare say raisins.)

Maybe the pictures aren’t terrible. I just feel assaulted by orange and yellow when I look at them. I find it incredibly unpleasant.

Luckily the oatmeal is anything but unpleasant. I guess that’s what matters. 🙂

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Yield: serves 1

What you'll need:

  • 1/2 cup regular rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ginger
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup grated carrot
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • scant 1/8 tsp molasses
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1-2 tbsp cream cheese (I used Tofutti)

How to make it:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a single-serving ramekin with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, mix oats, baking powder, spices, and salt until combined.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together milk, grated carrot, molasses, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
  4. Add dry ingredients to mix ingredients and stir until combined.
  5. If you'd like to add any extra ingredients (additional spices or sweetener, dried fruit), do so now.
  6. Drop cream cheese in small clumps into batter, stirring slightly to distribute the clumps throughout the oatmeal.
  7. Pour into the prepared ramekin. I added a few more clumps of cream cheese on the top. Then, bake for 20-25 minutes.
