Carrot Cake Oatmeal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup old fashion Oats
- 1 tbs. chia seeds
- 1½ cups water
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2-3 tbs. shredded carrots
- 1 tbs. unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tbs. organic raisins
- ½ tbs. chopped pecans
- 1 tbs. coconut butter
- ¼ tsp. maple syrup.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds and cinnamon with 1 cup water. Stir well and immediately to make sure chia seeds are distributed and don’t clump.
- Microwave for 2 minutes.
- Carefully remove from the microwave and stir in protein powder and additional water as needed.
- Once fully combined, add the shredded carrots and shredded coconut and stir.
- Top with raisins and chopped pecans.
- Make the maple coconut frosting by first making sure the coconut butter is runny (you may need to microwave it for 15-20 seconds and stir it well). Add ½ tbs. to a bowl and combine it with maple syrup. Stir. Then add the remaining ½ tbs. of coconut butter. Distribute with spoon over oats.
- Serve hot!
