Notes

You can make your own oat flour my blending oats in a high speed blender. Instead of muffins, you could also make regular carrot cake. This will probably have to bake more or less, depending on how high you make the cake. Just keep an eye on it and stick a toothpick into it, when you’re about to take it out of the oven – if it comes out clean, it’s done! You can serve it with vanilla ice cream and cashew vanilla sauce
