Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 medium carrot, grated

1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, additional walnuts, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of cream cheese frosting

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, grated carrot, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats absorb most of the liquid and start to thicken.

Stir in the crushed pineapple, raisins, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

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

Serve warm, topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt, extra walnuts, or even a drizzle of cream cheese frosting for that authentic carrot cake taste.
