Baked Carrot Cake Oats

I haven't been eating too many grains lately but this was calling my name.

1 cup steel cut oats (soak overnight)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp ginger 

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cardamom

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup grated carrot

pinch of sea salt

a handfull raisins(if you like)

1 egg or a chia seed egg

2 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk

crust

1 Tbsp maple syrup

1 Tbsp cocnut oil

3/4 cup nut or seed of choice, chopped

If you soak the oats overnight they cook a bit quicker, but you can also use rolled oats. Grease your baking dish with a bit of coconut oil.  Pour all ingredients up to the crust in and bake at 375 for about 40 minutes.  I took mine out and gave it a stir at about 20 min just to redistribute the liquid.  When it is starting to thicken sprinkle the crust/nut mixture on top and bake for another 15 min or until the nuts start to brown a bit. This will thicken as it cools and sets so its ok if its a bit wiggly coming out of the oven. With 1 cup of steel cut oats this makes 4 servings, they are about 425 calories each, mostly from the nuts.
