Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups oats
  • ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup coconut milk (you can use canned coconut milk or coconut milk in a carton. I've also used almond milk with great results)
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and shredded
  • zest of one orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, coconut, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, raisins, and walnuts.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, coconut oil, and maple syrup, then stir in the grated carrots, shredded apple, and orange zest. Pour the liquid ingredients into the oats mixture and stir well to combine.
  4. Pour into a greased 8x8" or 9x9" square baking pan.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 F, until lightly browned at the edges and dry in the middle.

  6. Serve warm with a splash of milk, and berries, if desired.
