Carrot Cake Oatmeal

May 22, 2017 By Penny

Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfast meals, and it’s so versatile. Chocolate cherry oatmeal, overnight oatmeal, strawberry banana oatmeal–there are so many ways to make it!

For this recipe, I added shredded carrots, coconut yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to give it a carrot cake flavor and flax seeds to thicken it up and for extra nutrients.  To make this recipe quicker and easier, buy pre-shredded carrots or shred them ahead of time. My favorite toppings are walnuts, raisins, and barberries.

If you make this oatmeal, let me know what you think in the comments below and/or post a photo on Instagram and tag me (@pennysportal)!
