Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with 15 silicone muffin cups (or grease a regular muffin pan well -- I've only ever used silicone for this recipe!).
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, egg, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Stir in oats, carrot, pineapple and raisins or other additions if using.
Divide mixture evenly between 15 muffin cups (they'll be full) and bake for 30 minutes, until completely set and light golden brown on top.
Let cool completely and store in the refrigerator for 1 week or in the freezer for 3-4 months. Serve warm or room temperature alone or in a bowl with milk.
