Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 medium carrot, grated

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup brown sugar (or maple syrup)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup raisins or chopped walnuts (optional)

A pinch of salt

Cream cheese or yogurt (for topping)

Shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, grated carrot, applesauce, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.

If using, stir in the raisins or chopped walnuts during the last minute of cooking for added texture and flavor.

Once the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it sit for a minute.

Serve the oatmeal hot in bowls. Top with a dollop of cream cheese or yogurt, and sprinkle shredded coconut on top if desired.
