Healthy Carrot Cake Oats

Ingredients

• 70g rolled oats
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 30g finely grated carrot (about 1 small carrot)
• 120ml milk (4 tbsp or 1/2 cup; any type: dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
• 60g Greek yogurt (about 4 tbsp)
• 1-2 tbsp chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
• 1 tbsp raisins (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 tbsp honey, for topping (or to taste)

Method

1. Grab a mason jar, small bowl, or any container with a lid that’s big enough to mix your oats.
2. Add 70g rolled oats and 1 tsp ground cinnamon to the container. Mix to evenly distribute the spice.
3. Add 3/4 of the grated carrot to the oats and set aside the remaining portion for garnish.
4. Pour in 120ml of milk and 60g of greek yoghurt yogurt. Mix everything thoroughly to combine.
5. Stir in 1-2 tbsp of chopped nuts and 1 tbsp of raisins for added texture and flavour. These are optional but help give the oats a true “carrot cake” vibe.
6. Dollop 1 tbsp of yoghurt and sprinkle over the reserved grated carrot. Drizzle with honey and top with a few extra nuts and raisins for decoration.
7. You can enjoy the oats immediately or let them set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. They’ll thicken with time and develop even more flavour.
