Baked oats taste like a soft, spiced cake but are made from breakfast staples: oats, eggs, yogurt, carrots and warm spices. A scoop of whey and a Neufchâtel-skyr frosting make it a properly filling breakfast. Bake it once and slice it for four mornings.

Tips

Grate the carrots finely so they melt into the oats.
Let it cool 10 minutes before cutting so the squares hold together.
