Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or your choice of milk)

1 medium carrot, grated

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt), additional walnuts, shredded coconut, and a drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Stir in the grated carrot, raisins, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and have reached a creamy consistency.

Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken further.

Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and add your favorite toppings, such as a dollop of Greek yogurt, extra walnuts, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness.

Serve warm and enjoy your delightful Carrot Cake Oatmeal!
