- ¼ cup maple syrup (60g)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (42g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (180g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Optional Vegan “Cream Cheese” Drizzle

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed and water. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken. This makes a flax egg.
- In a large bowl, add in your plant-based milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, flax egg, and vanilla. Whisk together to combine well. Then, add in rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt and nutmeg and whisk again. Add the grated carrots, apple, lemon zest, and, if using, the nuts and dried fruit. Stir again to evenly combine.
- Pour into your baking dish and baked for 35-40 minutes. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
- Optional cream cheese drizzle: Whisk yogurt, maple syrup, and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the baked oatmeal once it’s cooled.
