To save prep time in the morning, you can assemble this savory breakfast the night before and just pop it in the oven when you’re getting ready to eat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons ground chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 1 cup grated carrot
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1½ cups unsweetened soy milk
- ½ cup Date Syrup

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, flaxseeds, carrot, nuts, and cinnamon, and stir until well-mixed. Add the soy milk, date syrup, and vanilla, then stir until well-combined.
- Transfer the oatmeal mixture to the prepared baking pan, and smooth it evenly.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the oatmeal is golden brown and has set. Remove the baking pan from the oven, and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
