Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup of the pecans, 2 tablespoons of the coconut, ¼ teaspoon of the cinnamon, the brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, the remaining ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt.

Step 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.

Step 5

Add the remaining ½ cup of pecans, the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut, the apple, carrots, and raisins; mix until evenly combined.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the reserved pecan-coconut topping mixture evenly over top.

Step 7

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden around the edges and just set at the center. Serve warm.

Chef’s notes

Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions:

This dish can be made up to 2 days ahead of time or frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight, if necessary, then cover with foil and reheat in a 325°F oven until hot.

Note:

The original recipe calls for 1 medium Golden Delicious apple cut into ½-inch pieces. I used the type of apple I had on hand and cut the pieces a bit smaller.
