Oatmeal is often hailed as a superfood for good reason. At the heart of its health benefits lies a rich source of dietary fiber, which plays a crucial role in digestion and overall gut health. Just one cup of cooked oatmeal contains approximately 4 grams of fiber, which is about 16% of the recommended daily intake for adults. This fiber helps to regulate blood sugar levels, keeping hunger at bay and providing sustained energy throughout the morning.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 medium carrot, grated

1/2 banana, mashed

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: raisins, shredded coconut, additional nuts, or cream cheese drizzle

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

    Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and stir in the grated carrot, mashed banana, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.

      Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and softened to your desired consistency.

        Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

          Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with chopped walnuts or pecans, along with any optional toppings such as raisins, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of cream cheese.

            Serve warm and enjoy your deliciously nutritious Carrot Cake Oatmeal!
