Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 flax eggs *
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup **
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup raisin
  • 1/2 cup pecans ***

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease or line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients (maple syrup, flax eggs, vanilla extract and milk).
  • Then add in the dry ingredients (gluten-free rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder). Combine the dry and wet ingredients gently with a spatula.
  • Fold in shredded carrots, pecans and raisins.
  • Pour the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle extra pecans and shredded carrots on top (optional). Bake 30 - 35 min or until toothpick comes out clean, but the top is still soft to touch.
  • Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes then take it out on a cooling rack. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  1. * To make flax "eggs", mix 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds and 4 tablespoons of filtered water or dairy-free milk. Let it sit for 5- 7 minutes to "gel" up.
  2. ** If you prefer sweeter, add 3 - 4 tbsp coconut sugar to your taste.
  3. *** Omit pecans for a nut-free option.
