Scale

4 Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
3/4 cup shredded carrots (squeeze in paper towel to remove excess moisture)
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
3/4 cup oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp ground flax
2 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp vanilla yogurt
2 Tbsp powdered sugar

  1. In a large bowl, mix melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla, eggs and carrots until well combined.
