Naturally sweetened baked oatmeal with all of the tasty components of carrot cake. Nutritious and easy to make.
Ingredients
- ¾ cups Old Fashioned Oats
- ¼ cups Shredded Carrot, Loosely Packed
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tablespoon Walnuts, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Raisins (or Craisins)
- 1 dash Cinnamon
- 1 dash Ground Ginger
- ¼ cups Milk Of Choice
- ½ cups Boiling Water
- 1 Tablespoon Applesauce (optional)
- ¼ teaspoons Orange Rind
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Boil some water in a saucepan. While that comes to a boil, peel carrot. Once the water boils remove the pan from the heat.
Place carrot in a bowl (break it in half if necessary) and submerge it in the hot water for 5 minutes.
Remove carrot from hot water, allow it to cool and shred ¼ cup worth (about half a large carrot) on the fine side of a box grater.
In a ramekin (or small oven-safe dish), add all of the ingredients including the shredded carrot. Stir and bake in the oven for 12 minutes.
Remove ramekin from the oven, allow it to cool enough to touch, about 5 to 10 minutes and serve for breakfast!
