Ingredients

4 cups gluten free rolled oats
1 tablespoon cinnamon
6 medium bananas * See notes
1 cup tahini ** See notes
1/4 cup shredded carrots approximately 1 medium carrot
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup walnuts
1/2-1 cup dairy free white chocolate chips Optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish or pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all your ingredients, except for your chocolate chips, and mix very well, until fully combined.
Transfer the batter into the lined pan/dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, or until it's loose enough to remove from it. Place on a cooling rack.
Melt your dairy free white chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of the baked oatmeal. Allow the chocolate to set for 1-2 minutes, before slicing into bars. Alternatively, if you intend to eat later, allow the baked oatmeal to cool before drizzling with the mock cream cheese frosting.

Notes

* Can sub for applesauce or mashed pumpkin, but you will need to add some sweetener, to compensate for the lack of sweetness. Start with 2 cups, before adding more if needed.

** Can sub for any nut or seed butter of choice, like peanut butter, almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
