Grate the Fruits and Vegetables: Grate the apple and carrot using a fine grater. You can leave the apple peel on for extra fiber.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated apple, grated carrot, rolled oats, plant-based milk (or water), cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and any optional ingredients like nuts or seeds. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Rest the Mixture: Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the oats and chia seeds (if added) to absorb the liquid.
Cook or Bake (Optional):
For a no-bake version: Simply serve the mixture as is for a quick, raw breakfast or snack.
For a baked version: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a greased or lined baking dish. Press down to flatten, and bake for 20–25 minutes until slightly firm and golden on top.
Cool and Serve: Allow the mixture to cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it warm or cold, depending on your preference.
