Sounds too good to be true right? My Carrot Cake Porridge is the morning indulgence with a Winter warmer feel but also clean as a whistle – don’t believe me? Give it a go!
Ingredients (per serving)
50g Carrot
25g Oats
150ml Coconut/Almond milk (no added sugar)
Finely grated Nutmeg
0.5tsp Ginger
0.5tsp Cinnamon
25g Pecans
15g Mixed seeds
1.5 tbsp Maple syrup
Pinch of fine Salt
Instructions
- Grate the carrot finely and add to a pan with oats, milk, spices and 0.5 tsp of maple syrup
- Put the pan on a medium heat, wait for the porridge to bubble and thicken
- Meanwhile in a small pan add the rest of the maple syrup with a pinch of fine salt, wait until it starts to simmer then add the pecans and seeds
- Toss the pecans and seeds until they are covered and the syrup has become stickier
- By now your porridge should have simmered for about 5 minutes and is ready for serving, although at this point check the consistency of your porridge and don’t be afraid to add a splash more milk!
I like to ladle the porridge into a big bowl, top with my mapled pecans, seeds and any scraps of raw carrot on top – perfect…. simple… CLEAN!
