Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 apple, grated
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) rolled oats, chopped in a blender
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk of your choice
Dried Fruits and Spices:
- 9 dried apricots, rinsed with hot water and chopped
- 4 tablespoons raisins, rinsed with hot water
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Leavening Agent:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the kitchen workspace by gathering all ingredients and preheating the oven to 350F (175C), ensuring an even cooking environment.
- Create a smooth batter by thoroughly whisking together oats, baking powder, milk, grated carrot, chopped apricots, raisins, diced apple, ground cinnamon, and eggs until ingredients are fully integrated and uniformly distributed.
- Transfer the mixed batter into a lightly greased 9×9 inch baking dish, spreading the mixture evenly to promote consistent cooking and golden coloration.
- Place the prepared dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, monitoring the surface to achieve a rich golden-brown color and firm, set texture.
- Remove the breakfast bake from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes, enabling the dish to stabilize and develop a more cohesive structure before slicing and serving.
- Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally garnishing with a light dusting of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for enhanced flavor complexity.
Notes
- Swap dairy milk with almond, soy, or oat milk to create a lactose-free version that’s equally delicious and nutritious.
- Add chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra crunch and protein, transforming the breakfast bake into a more substantial morning meal.
- Experiment with different dried fruits such as cranberries or chopped dates to vary the flavor profile and keep the breakfast exciting.
- Prepare the mixture the night before and refrigerate, allowing flavors to meld and making morning preparation a breeze for busy individuals.
