Carrot-Cake Porridge

An oatmeal inspired by one of my favourite cakes. It contains carrots and apples stewed in autumn-esque spices and topped with toasted walnuts:

1. Crumble and toast walnuts
2. Stew carrots and apples in warm spices
3. Cook oatmeal
4. Top with yogurt and walnuts

Notes & Substitutions

• Use pecans or hazelnuts instead of walnuts
• Grating the carrots and apples reduces the stewing time significantly
• Besides maple syrup, apple sauce is a good choice of sweetener

Carrot-cake Porridge

Inspired by the cake, apples and carrots are cooked in warm spices, before cooking the oatmeal. Topped with yogurt and toasted walnuts, this makes the perfect fall porridge.
