Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup roasted chopped pecans

Instructions

  5. In another bowl, whisk together maple syrup, almond milk, yogurt, applesauce, vanilla, and the flax egg.
  6. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  7. Fold in grated carrots.
  8. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the center is set and top is golden.
  10. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm or chilled.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
  • Add protein powder for a higher-protein breakfast — adjust liquid as needed.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Tastes great cold or reheated with a splash of milk.
  • Reduce maple syrup for a toddler-friendly or low-sugar version.
