Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 2
- 1 cup old fashioned oats (quick oats would work; just make sure to read the package for liquid:oat ratio)
- 1½ cups of milk (I used 2% but you could use almond or soy milk easily)
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional)
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar (optional)
- raisins, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut to top the oatmeal
- Bring the milk and water to a slow boil (careful not to burn the milk!!!).
- Stir in the oats and then the carrots.
- Continue to simmer, over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla. Stir in the maple syrup.
- Continue cooking until the oatmeal is creamy and cooked through.
- Remove it from the heat and then whisk in the egg.
- Return the pan to the burner, stirring constantly, over very low heat until the egg is completely incorporated (oatmeal will be sort of frothy).
- Divide into two bowls, sprinkle a teaspoon of brown sugar on each, and garnish with the raisins, walnuts, and shredded coconut.
