What if carrot cake and cinnamon rolls had a baby? You’d get this incredibly moist, warmly spiced loaf — with a gorgeous cinnamon swirl running through every single slice. And the best part? It’s made with oat flour, Greek yogurt, and zero refined sugar.
Grated carrots keep every slice naturally moist and tender. Greek yogurt adds protein and a subtle tang. Maple syrup sweetens it just enough. This is the healthy bake that tastes like a cheat day — but isn’t.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Results
- 🥕Don’t squeeze the carrots — the moisture is what makes this bread so incredibly tender and moist.
- 🥣Make your own oat flour by blending rolled oats in a blender for 30 seconds — much cheaper than buying it pre-made.
- 🌀For a deeper swirl — use a skewer and drag it through the batter in long S-shapes before baking.
- ❄️Slice and freeze individually — wrap each slice in cling film. Toast from frozen for the most incredible warm breakfast.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?
Yes! Use the same quantity of all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour. The oat flour version is slightly denser but much higher in fibre.
Can I replace Greek yogurt?
Yes! Use sour cream, plain yogurt, or mashed banana. Each gives a slightly different flavour but all work well.
Why is my bread too dense?
Oat flour is naturally denser than regular flour. Make sure not to overmix the batter — stir just until combined for the lightest result.
How long does it keep?
Room temperature 2 days, fridge 5 days, freezer 3 months. It actually gets more moist on day 2!
