Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1 medium apple, diced (peeling is optional)
- 1 cup milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk works great)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats, grated carrots, diced apple, milk, water, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, and vanilla in a medium saucepan.
