Ingredients
  

2 cups grated carrots (about 3 medium carrots)

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup full-fat coconut milk

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: Start by peeling and grating the carrots finely. You can use a box grater or a food processor with the grating attachment.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

      Add the Spices: Into the same bowl, stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, mixing well to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, grated carrots, chopped nuts, and raisins or dried cranberries (if using).

          Combine All Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the mixture is evenly combined.

            Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

              Freeze the Mixture: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.

                Cut into Squares: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and carefully lift out the frozen cake using the parchment overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into squares or bars.

                  Serve: Enjoy immediately, or store the squares in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can serve them straight from the freezer or let sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer texture.
