Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients (maple syrup, flax eggs, vanilla extract and milk).
Then add in the dry ingredients (gluten-free rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder). Combine the dry and wet ingredients gently with a spatula.

Pour the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle extra pecans and shredded carrots on top (optional).

Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes then take it out on a cooling rack.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
