Instructions
Preheat oven to 180 C. Grease a baking dish lightly with coconut oil.
Combine oats, seeds, coconut and cinnamon. Grate the carrots and stir into the dry ingredients. Arrange this all evenly in the greased baking dish.
Whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients. Scatter the frozen raspberries over the top, pressing some bits of fruit deeper into the mixture.
Place in the oven and bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the top has turned a golden brown. The bake should feel quite firm to touch.
Allow to cool and then cut into pieces. Serve warm or cold. I recommend serving with yoghurt or pouring over some hot milk.
