Taste like carrot cake but a lot quicker to make and can also be vegan.
150g butter or spread
2 - 3 tbsp (50 - 75g) golden syrup
75g brown sugar
250g porridge oats
Pinch salt
2 tsp mixed spice
50g nuts and/or seeds of your choice, eg walnuts, flaked almonds, chia, flax, sunflower...
50g chopped dates or other dried fruit
30g scoop unflavoured protein powder
1 large carrot
1. Peel and finely grate the carrot.
2. Melt butter, golden syrup and sugar in a large bowl in the microwave.
3. Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Press into a lined and greased 9 inch square pan or baking dish.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180c for about 20 mins until golden.
6. Lift it out of the pan using the lining and cool slightly before scoring into pieces with a sharp knife. Leave to cool before cutting all the way through as it will set and be easier to cut .
Based on a recipe by tin and thyme.
