- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F and grease an 8x8 glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Next add the drained and squeezed pineapple, shredded carrots, oil and eggs. Stir together to form a thick mixture before folding in the chopped apples, raisins and nuts.
