Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (475 ml) non-dairy milk of choice (homemade or store bought)
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seed (or sub chia seeds)
- 1/3 cup (60 ml) grade A maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (200 g) rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cup (75 g) shredded carrot (about 1 large)
- 1/4 cup (40 g) raisins (optional; omit or sub other dried fruit)
- 1/2 cup (65 g) roughly chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F and set a 9” x 6” (or similar) baking pan aside.
- Add the non-dairy milk, flax, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and whisk until well-combined. Add the oats, carrot, and chopped nuts to the bowl and mix until evenly incorporated, then transfer to the baking dish.
- Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the oats are golden and fragrant. Serve warm, or as desired. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, reheating in the oven or toaster if desired.
Notes
