Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1/2 cup carrots, finely grated
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon (or less if preferred)
  • 1/2 tsp. Allspice
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup crushed pineapple
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar (or honey) (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup milk (cows milk or non dairy option of your choice)

Instruction

  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add in the water, the finely grated carrots and salt. Bring to a simmer (this is to cook the carrots a little bit so they aren't crunchy in your oatmeal).
  • Once the water comes to a simmer, turn the heat down to medium and stir in the oats, raisins, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla extract, walnuts and crushed pineapple. Simmer the oats for ~3-4minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the brown sugar and milk until the oats are creamy and desired consistency of oats is reached. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes to heat milk.
  • Serve warm and top with more walnuts, cinnamon, brown sugar and a dollop of yogurt.
