Instructions

Add carrots to a greased baking dish. Bake at 375 F ( 190 C) for 15-17 mins . Skip this step for faster recipe, or less roasted carrot. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 F(180 C).
Meanwhile, mix the oats with the rest of the dry ingredients(baking powder through coconut/seeds) in a bowl.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Add the oats mixture and mix in.
Add the milk, maple and vanilla and mix, press and mix. If the mixture starts drying out, add 1-2 tbsp more milk. Even it out.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar (optional) on top and Bake for 30 to 35 mins (depending on preference of texture of the baked oatmeal). Let it sit for a few mins, then serve warm with maple syrup, or whipped coconut cream, fruit/fruit compote or vegan butter.

Notes

Make Ahead: Follow steps 1 through 4, cover the baking dish and refrigerate for upto a day. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar and bake when needed. Check 5 mins earlier.

Variations: Add some shredded apple or pineapple along with carrots for variation. Add some lemon zest.

Nutfree: Omit the nuts from the dry mix. Use coconut milk or other non dairy milk.
