Start by mixing the chia seeds with water, let it sit for 15 minutes until gel.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl mix the carrots, apple, rolled oats, salt, spices and raisins. Next mix the honey/maple/coconut sugar with the olive oil, walnuts and sunflower seeds.
Grease a baking tray with coconut or olive oil to avoid sticking. Spread the carrot mixture on the tray.
Next, combine the chia gel with the milk to get a liquid consistency. Pour this over the carrot/oat mixture. Finally, spread over the seed & nut topping. Bake for 45 minutes until the walnuts are golden brown and crunchy.
