Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)

 

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional, for added nutrition)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, grated carrot, rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (or honey).
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. If using raisins, dried cranberries, nuts, or seeds, fold them in at this point.
  5. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the breakfast bake cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
