Ingredients

1.5 cups gluten-free quick oats or rolled oats
1 medium yellow squash sliced (or cut into chunks if your blender can take it!)
3/4 cup water more if needed to facilitate blending
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup granulated Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener* (use coupon code ANNIE for 20% off!)
1.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt or regular salt
Sprinkles optional

Optional frosting:

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F, spray 8×8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.
Add oats to blender, and process until flour-like consistency is reached.
Add in remaining ingredients (except sprinkles), and blend until smooth.
Stir in sprinkles if using.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish, and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (I stopped at 30 minutes, and they were kind of gooey inside which I loooove).
Let cool, and frost with optional frosting and/or sprinkles!

Notes

*Or other granulated sweetener of choice, equivalent to 1 cup sugar
