Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk or any other milk
  • 2 large eggs or flax eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 4 teaspoons melted coconut oil or canola oil * coconut oil will harden with any cold liquids - this is totally normal and will melt down once baked
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/3 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut I used unsweetened
  • 3 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten free as needed
  • 3 Tablespoons raisins
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x13 baking pan or a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line baking sheet with silicone liners. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the maple syrup, coconut oil, apple sauce, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, carrots, and coconut. Fold in the oats, raisins, and nuts.
  3. Spread batter into a casserole dish or divide batter evenly into prepared muffin tin or silicone muffin liners. Sprinkle with additional coconut, raisins, and pecans, if desired.

  4. Bake in preheated oven until just set and no longer jiggly - about 30-35 minutes in a baking pan or 20-25 minutes in muffin tins.

  5. Enjoy immediately or freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave when ready to enjoy.
