Amazing Pumpkin Carrot Oat Loaf

Don't let the ingredient list in this recipe intimidate you. This is quite easy to put together and tastes amazing. The texture is so moist and airy you won't even notice it's gluten free. If you can't find the oat flour, simply process some rolled oats in a spice/nut grinder until you have a fine grind.
