Carrot Cake Oatmeal Porridge

Hi everyone!

Uni assessment is gearing up, so I find myself progressively procrastinating in the kitchen to put off doing the work (oops, hehe)

And what better place to start procrastinating and putting of writing essays then the start of the day and creating a great breakfast

As been well established – I love porridge! I wanted to experiment with some new flavours, carrot cake being the top of the list – as i looove carrots!

Who could possibly complain about the prospect of having ‘cake’ for breakfast ?

This dish is warm oats with finely grated carrot, some delicious smelling spices and speckled with sweet raisins! YUM.

To finish it off it is sprinkled with shredded coconut and crushed pecan nuts!

It is a great way to add vegetables to your morning dish, you would never know you were being healthy, it tastes delish !

<- Everything is made in one pot too! (Look at all those spices – mm!)

If you like things sweeter, you can increase the 1 teaspoon of agave syrup to a tablespoon (if you don’t have agave, use honey or other natural sweetener of choice) I found a teaspoon to be enough and the raisins were sprinkled throughout adding a sweet bite

Hope you enjoy ..now I guess I better actually get to studying…
