Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line muffin tin with muffin liners or prepare silicone muffin cups.
  • Place oats in high-speed blender or food processor. Blitz until oats reach flour-like consistency.
  • Add all other ingredients, apart from carrots, cranberries, walnuts, and icing ingredients. Blend until smooth.
