Honestly, sometimes I’m at a loss for what to say in these blog posts. While I know some of you read, the majority of you don’t and I’d rather you make the recipe than worry about my verbal nonsense. Usually I have a quick little anecdote or story for what inspired the recipe but today I’m at a loss. C requested something carrot cake themed (his favorite dessert!) and I had just finished making a few updates to an old recipe of mine – these Chocolate Chip Zucchini Oatmeal Bars<\/a>. I was inspired to make a carrot cake baked oatmeal version using the ingredients I had in the house.<\/p>\n

The final product turned out fantastic and after making a few tweaks while recipe developing the final recipe for these carrot cake baked oatmeal bars turned out pretty similar to the original, and while I hate to admit it, I think they’re even better than the zucchini version! And since May is C’d birthday month (and we have approximately ZERO other plans) it looks like this won’t be the only time I’m making carrot cake. I doubt baked oatmeal is good enough for celebrating a 30th birthday, but this version comes pretty damn close.<\/p>\n
