• porções: 4 people
• tempo ativo: 5 mins
• tempo total: 15 minutes

Ingredientes

4 large carrots, grated (about 2 cups)

2 cups rolled oats

2 1/2 cups milk of choice

2 1/2 cups water

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp nutmeg

2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 cup walnuts (see note)

Instruções

Finely grate the carrots and add them to a medium pot. You can also grate them ahead of time in a big batch and add them from your freezer here, see my explanation above.

Add the oats, milk, water, and spices to the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until oatmeal starts to thicken. The more good stirs you give it, the creamier it will be. But no need to stir it constantly.

Once the oatmeal has started to thicken, but about 2-3 minutes before it is fully cooked add the chia seeds. They will soak up the remaining liquid. Once oatmeal is at the desired texture, remove from the heat.

Stir in vanilla. Serve with walnuts as a topping.
