Carrot Cake Porridge

Dessert for breakfast? Yes, please! This flavorful carrot cake porridge is a tasty way to add some veggies to your morning, plus a dash of immune-loving ginger!

Ingredients:

For the porridge
  • 1 cup jumbo oats
  • 2.5 cups plant milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • ¼ tsp grated nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ cup sultanas
  • Zest of ½ orange
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¾ cup grated carrot

To serve
  • Coconut yogurt, or another plant-based yogurt
  • Handful toasted pecans or walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup, or to taste
  • 4 tbsp grated carrot
  • Sprinkling orange zest

Method:
  1. Place all the ingredients for the porridge in a saucepan and heat gently until it's warmed through and you have your preferred porridge texture. The oats should be soft, but not too mushy – I like a little bite to mine.
  2. Divide between two serving bowls and dollop some yogurt onto each, followed by the grated carrot, chopped nuts and a drizzle of maple syrup.
  3. If your porridge is quite thick, you might like to pour a little extra warmed milk around the edges, as seen above.
