Carrot Cake Oatmeal Recipe

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • ½ Cup of finely shredded carrot or roughly 1 medium sized carrot
  • 1¼ Cup of milk milk alternative, or water
  • ½ Cup of rolled oats
  • ¼ Cup of raisins
  • ¼ Cup of walnuts roughly chopped
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 Teaspoon of cinnamon
  • ¼ Teaspoon of ground nutmeg optional
  • ¼ Teaspoon of ground ginger optional
  • 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar
  • ½ Teaspoon of vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Par-cook the carrots: Add the shredded carrot and milk/water to a medium sized pot. Place this over medium high heat and let the liquid come to a simmer. This is so the carrots cook slightly and soften.
  • Add the remaining ingredients except for the vanilla extract to the same pot and stir everything together.
  • Cook the oats: Reduce the heat to medium and let the liquid return to a simmer. Cook the oatmeal for 5 minutes making sure to stir the pot often. You will know that the oatmeal is done when it has become nice and thick, and the oats are tender.
  • Add the vanilla extract and stir it into the oatmeal.
  • Serve the carrot cake oatmeal in a bowl and enjoy!
