Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with oil, or line with parchment paper.
- Grate carrots using the large side of a box grater or the grating attachment on a food processor.
- Prepare flax eggs in a large mixing bowl by mixing flaxseed meal and water and let rest for 5 minutes. Then add maple syrup, oil, salt, and cinnamon and whisk to combine.
- Add dairy-free milk and whisk once more. Then add grated carrots, oats, nuts, and raisins, and stir to combine.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with additional walnuts and raisins (~2 Tbsp each). Sprinkle with coconut sugar for a “swirl” effect (optional).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown, the edges are slightly caramelized, and it has some springiness in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes in the pan.
- Serve warm with desired toppings, such as warmed coconut milk or almond milk and a drizzle of maple syrup or nut butter.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator 3-4 days (or in the freezer for up to 1 month), though best when fresh. Reheat in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven or in the microwave until hot, adding more dairy-free milk as needed to moisten.
Notes
- *Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with coconut oil, fortified almond milk, and without optional ingredients.
