Mix together 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ginger, and 2 cups rolled oats in a medium-sized bowl.
Take another bowl and stir together 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ⅓ cup maple syrup, and 1 ¾ cups milk.
Add in ¾ cup shredded carrots and half of both pecans and raisins.
Now pour the wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir well until everything is well combined.
Pour mixture into a casserole 8 by 8-inch casserole dish and press down until oats are soaked.
Sprinkle top with remaining pecans and raisins, pressing them lightly into oatmeal.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375 F, for around 40 to 45 minutes, uncovered.
Once done, let it cool a bit before serving.

Make sure all the dry ingredients are well combined and all the wet ones are too, before mixing them together to ensure all ingredients will be well distributed in the batter.
Use either rolled oats or instant oats, for the best results.
You can buy shredded carrots rather than shredding your own.
