Ingredients

    1 cup oat flour (ground oatmeal found in the health section of your grocery store)
    ¼ tsp salt
    ½ tsp baking soda
    ½ tsp ground ginger
    2 tsp cinnamon
    1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
    1/8 tsp allspice (optional – more like spice cake)
    3 egg whites
    8oz apple sauce (no sugar added - I like apple peach)
    ½ cup fat free Ricotta cheese
    1 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)

Directions

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.
