With Easter just around the corner I am already craving a big slab of rich ooey gooey carrot cake! And Reese’s peanut butter eggs… heaven help me.
Typically I’m not a cake girl but good carrot cake is a different story. We even chose it as our wedding cake. I craaaaave it. Market Street Grill has THE BEST carrot cake. If you ever find yourself there… splurge! One day I will recreate a clean version of the real deal but for now… carrot cake breakfast oats friends! Seriously these taste almost too good to be breakfast. More like dessert. Most definitely a clean treat for me! Balance it out with some scrambled egg whites maybe? Enjoy!
