A nourishing and filling breakfast... for when what you're really craving is a cookie.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray of your choice (I used avocado oil spray)
  • 2 cups of old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups milk of your choice (I use almond)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 carrot, shredded (approximately 3/4 cup — I use my grater to do this)
  • 3-4 tablespoons maple syrup (I usually use 3 but add a 4th if you prefer it a little sweeter)
  • 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seed

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. 

  3. 3

    Combine all ingredients and stir well.

  4. 4

    Pour into the baking dish. Use a spatula to flatten so it is distributed well into the whole dish.

  5. 5

    Bake uncovered for 35 minutes or until it is golden brown and the milk has been absorbed.

  6. 6

    That's it! Let cool for 5 minutes then cut and enjoy.  

  7. 7

    Top with yogurt for breakfast, or whipped cream for a delicious snack anytime. Store in the fridge in Rubbermaid Brilliance food storage containers and enjoy cold, or simply reheat in the microwave.
