Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease an 8-in (20-cm) square baking dish or a 9-in (23-cm) deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray or butter.
2. Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup (70 g) of the pecans, 2 tablespoons of the coconut, ¼ teaspoon of the cinnamon, the brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, the remaining ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt.
4. In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, egg, oil and vanilla extract. Add the milk mixture to the oat mixture and stir to combine. Add the remaining ½ cup (70 g) of pecans, the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut, the apple, carrots and raisins; mix until evenly combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the reserved pecan-coconut topping mixture evenly over top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden around the edges and just set at the center. Serve warm.
