Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups milk, any
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large carrot, grated
- ¼ cup raisins
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Chopped walnuts or pecans, for serving
Instructions
Cook:
- Add the oats, milk, salt, grated carrot, raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and once it simmers, reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
- Cook the oatmeal for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the desired consistency is reached. Add the vanilla, stir, and turn off the heat. For a thicker oatmeal texture, cover and let the oats sit in the saucepan for 3 more minutes.
Serve:
- Divide the oatmeal into bowls and top it with chopped walnuts or pecans.
Notes
- You can use water instead of milk, but oatmeal won’t be as creamy.
