Easy Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Fold in quick oats and shredded carrots. Scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture and form it into patties. Place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, then flip the patties and bake for another 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown, crispy, and firm to the touch.
