  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking dish with coconut oil and then set aside.
  2. Combine the rolled oats, baking powder, spices and salt in a mixing bowl, then add grated carrots and dried berries,... and stir to mix. In a separate bowl, prepare the chia 'egg', add the milk and whisk to combine.
  3. For the crunchy top layer, put the sweetener, coconut oil, walnuts and sunflower seeds in a small bowl and mix with your fingers to make sure everything is well coated. I love using maple syrup. Just love the flavor.
  4. Combinethe wet and dry mixture.
  5. Scoop everything into the baking dish. Sprinkle the crunchy layer on top and bake for 25 – 35 min. When it’s done, the oatmeal should be set and the nuts and seeds lightly browned and crunchy. Leave to cool slightly before serving.
