Ingredients
Wet Ingredients

• 2 chia eggs (2 tablespoons chia seeds + 6 tablespoons water)
• 3/4 cup grated carrots (packed)
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter* (see notes)
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup raisins* (see notes)

Dry Ingredients

• 2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Filling

• 2/3 cup plain vegan cream cheese* (homemade or store bought; see notes)
• 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, prepare the chia egg by mixing 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Stir together and set aside for 10 minutes to thicken.
2. In the meantime, add 1 cup of rolled oats to the bowl of a food processor. Process the oats until they have formed a flour-like consistency. Add in the walnuts and pulse until they are chopped but not fine. Transfer the oat and walnut mixture to a large bowl and add in the remaining rolled oats along with the baking powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
