How to make carrot cake baked oatmeal

Grated carrots are mixed with mashed banana, oats, walnuts, spices, raisins, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, and baking powder. Then add some plant milk to combine everything together. Allow the mix to rest overnight, then simply 'wake & bake'.

  1. Mix the ingredients in one bowl
  2. Rest overnight (or for at least 1 hour to activate the chia and flax seeds)
  3. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and fragrant
  4. Enjoy warm or cold and garnish as desired.

Chefs Top Tip

  • Make this mix the night before, then you just have to pop it in the oven as you get up and do your morning routine. The incredible sweet spice aromas will take over the kitchen.
  • This recipe is flexible to substitute ingredients; try adding some pineapple, berries, pumpkin or grated apple for variations instead of carrot.
