1 medium carrot, grated

1/4 cup brown sugar (or maple syrup)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup raisins (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

2 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional)

In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats and milk over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer.

    Stir in the grated carrot, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.

      Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
