How to Store Easy Flourless Oatmeal Carrot Cake

This cake loves the fridge. Store it in an airtight container, and it will last about 5-7 days. Want to preserve it for longer? Freeze those slices!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding a handful of raisins or even a scoop of cocoa powder for a delightful twist. For a vegan option, swap the eggs for flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg) and use coconut oil instead of butter. The possibilities are endless!

• How do I make this cake ahead of time? You can bake it in advance and store it in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go treat.
