Protein Carrot Cake

Thats right...HEALTHY protein carrot cake with NO butter or sugar. This is probably the best "protein" recipe I've come up with yet!

Ingredients

Filling- 

8oz fat free cream cheese softened 
2 tbsp truvia
2 egg whites

Batter- 

 (dry)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cup oat flour (i make my own by placing about 1 1/2 cup quick oats in my ninja)
1/2 cup truvia (or sweetener of your choice)
3 scoops vanilla protein powder
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1 1/2 tsp salt

 (wet)
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
1/4 cup greek yogurt
1/4 low fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or skim milk)
1/4 cup light agave nectar
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 1/4 cup shredded carrots
1 8oz can crushed pineapple

Heat oven to 375. In two separate bowls mix wet ingredients and dry ingredients. Then slowly combine the dry ingredients into the wet. In your blender or with a hand mixer blend the ingredients for the "filling". Spray your pan with cooking spray or line with cupcake liners and fill a quarter of the way with batter, put a small amount of "filling" then more batter. Cook for about 10-15 minutes depending on the pan used.

You can make this is a loaf pan, a 9x13, mini muffin pan, cupcake pan, etc :)

As you can see in the picture, some of them have "frosting". I mixed 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder with a small amount of water until it had a frosting consistency. Spread onto the cakes and sprinkled with pecans. However, after they sat for a few minutes the frosting became taffy-like and stuck to my teeth :/ so i would skip that next time!
