]]> Gājjar no halvo, also known as gājjar kā halwā, is a carrot-based dessert made of grated carrots slowly cooked in milk and sugar. Its comforting warmth will soothe you on any cold day. A nutritious dessert that’s rich in anti-inflammatory compounds, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, this dish beats out even the heartiest breakfasts. Popping everything in the oven makes the process much simpler. Feel free to top with warmed nondairy milk and a drizzle of maple syrup after baking to make the consistency thinner and to sweeten it. To make this recipe gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.

Yield: Serves 2 to 4
  • 1 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • Pinch of grated nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1½ cups unsweetened, unflavored soy milk or preferred non-dairy milk, plus more for serving
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed (about ¾ cup)
  • 2 carrots, grated (about ¾ cup)
  • 5 Medjool dates, finely chopped (about ½ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • ⅓ cup chopped raw nuts, such as almonds, pistachios, or walnuts
  • Pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
