Description

Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal is made with oats, almond milk and shredded carrots for a healthy and delicious breakfast that everyone will love! 


Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if needed) 
  • 3/4 cup shredded carrots 
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 
  • 1 tsp baking powder 
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg 
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 1 egg 
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup 
  • 3 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • chopped walnuts
  • raisins
  • shredded coconut 


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8- or 9-inch baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, carrots, coconut, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, maple syrup, melted butter and vanilla extract.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. 

  5. Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. Add optional toppings like chopped walnuts, raisins, or extra shredded coconut if desired.

  6. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the centre is set.

  7. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or store for later!


Notes

  • Use rolled oats for a chewy texture, or quick oats for a softer texture. 
  • Finely grate carrots so they cook evenly and blend in well.
  • Let baked oatmeal cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Adjust maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
  • Store in the fridge up to 5 days and reheat in the microwave or oven.
