Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup carrots
- 1 cup almond milk
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Grate carrots until you have one cup's worth and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated carrots, chia seeds, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until it becomes liquid. Remove from heat and stir in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts to evenly distribute them within the mixture.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, pressing down firmly for an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and set.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for around 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, cut into 12 bars and enjoy. These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
