Ingredients
- 1 medium head of broccoli, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup oat flour (ground oats)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ teaspoon celery salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
Chop the broccoli into small florets and grate the carrots finely. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive or avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the broccoli and carrots for about 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth. Stir in the oat flour, shredded mozzarella cheese, celery salt, garlic salt, and black pepper. Add the sautéed broccoli and carrots, mixing until well combined.
Step 4: Bake the Bars
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bars are set and lightly golden on top. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
Step 5: Cool and Slice
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice into squares or bars and serve warm.
