For the Frosting:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease well with coconut oil.

- Process again until smooth then add the oats, Gluten Free flour and baking soda. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth with a spatula.
- Bake at 350 F for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted into the center clean.
- Cool in the pan 1 hour before transferring to a wire baking rack to cool more. If lining the pan with parchment paper, you can remove from the pan after 10 minutes and finish cooling on a wire baking rack.
- After the bread cools, prepare the optional frosting by blending the cream cheese with maple syrup until smooth.
- Frost the bread with the cream cheese and top with roughly chopped macadamias or nut of choice. Add additional shredded carrots as desired.
