Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients – In a large bowl, combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and nuts (if using).
Grate apple and carrot – No need to peel; just wash and grate for extra fiber.
Mix wet ingredients – In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir in the grated apple and carrot.
Combine everything – Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.
Bake – Transfer mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
Cool and serve – Let the bake cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with yogurt, nut butter, or fresh fruit.

Notes

Make it vegan – Swap eggs for flax eggs and use plant-based milk.
Boost the sweetness – Add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey if you like it sweeter.
Nut-free option – Skip the nuts or replace with sunflower seeds.
Meal prep-friendly – Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
