Ingredients
1 cup oat flour (ground oatmeal found in the health section of your grocery store)¼ tsp salt½ tsp baking soda½ tsp ground ginger2 tsp cinnamon1/8 tsp ground nutmeg1/8 tsp allspice (optional – more like spice cake)3 egg whites8oz apple sauce (no sugar added - I like apple peach)½ cup fat free Ricotta cheese1 cup shredded carrots (the original recipe called for 8oz carrot baby food)2 scoops vanilla whey protein (look for a low sugar, low fat and low carb variety)1 cup quick cooking oats (optional for added carbs and energy)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 x 8 pyrex dish with non-stick butter spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, spices, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, mix egg whites, apple sauce, ricotta and carrots until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix well. Finally, fold in the quick cooking oats (optional) and stir until just combined.
Pour batter into the pyrex dish and spread evenly. Bake 25 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and cut into 16 pieces – 4 x 4. 1 serving = 2 pieces.
