Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (14 oz.) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Press a piece of parchment paper into the bottom of the dish to ensure easy removal later. (This is optional, but makes clean-up easier, too.)
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk well to combine.
- Add the rolled oats, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well, then fold in the shredded carrots, walnuts, and raisins.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a few extra walnuts on top, if you like. Bake at 350ºF for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top feels dry to a light touch. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into 6 large pieces (my preference for meal prep) or slice into 9 squares if serving it as part of a brunch spread. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat individual slices in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes as it preheats to 350ºF. (Or microwave for 20-30 seconds.)

Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 of 6 large slices. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Sweetener Note: As written, this baked oatmeal tastes like a light-sweet carrot cake without the need for extra maple syrup or frosting. You can reduce the sugar to a 1/2 cup if you prefer a less-sweet brunch option. I don't recommend swapping the granulated sugar for maple syrup, as the results will be more gummy, but feel free to experiment with it.
