- 2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 2 cups non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder (more to preference)
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder (more to preference)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt

For the flax egg
- 2 tablespoon milled flaxseed
- 5 tablespoon warm water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 355F / 180C and grease an ovenproof dish suitable for 6 servings with melted coconut oil.
- Make the flax egg by combining the ingredients and stirring well. Set aside for 10 minutes to thicken.
- Add the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, salt, cardamom, ginger powder to a large bowl and whisk. Pour in the flax egg (after it has been set aside for 10 minutes).
- Add the carrot, oats, pumpkin seeds and baking powder to the bowl. Stir very thoroughly so the mixture is all combined.
- Pour the mixture into your greased ovenproof dish. Give it a stir and ensure that the milk is evenly spread through the mixture. If you like, sprinkle the top with a little brown sugar. Bake for 35-40 minutes. See notes for cook time preference.
Notes
- Cook time will vary slightly depending upon personal preference as to the consistency of the baked oatmeal. If you prefer a more fluid consistency then bake for around 35 minutes. If you like it to be thicker so that you can slice it into pieces, then cook for a little longer.
