Oatmeal Recipes

I love carrot cake,but I never make it since I'm the only one in my family who likes it. I recently came across this recipe and it's the perfect yummy and healthy breakfast!

Carrot Cake Oats

1/2 cup oats
3/4 cup almond milk
1 carrot shredded
1 tbsp raisins
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp real maple syrup
1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tbsp chopped pecans
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cardamom
dash salt

Mix oats, milk, carrots and raisins in a bowl and microwave for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes. Add vanilla and stir allowing alcohol to steam off. Put it in the freezer to cool off a bit while you gather the rest of the ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and mix. Enjoy!

Another easy favorite is:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oats

1/2 cup oats
1 cup water
1/2 - 1 banana mashed
1 tbsp dark (unsweetened) cocoa powder
1 tbsp PB2 powder
1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

Cook oats and water in microwave for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Put in freezer to cool off. Mash banana and add all ingredients to cooled oats. Yum!
