Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 small carrots, peeled and grated
- 180g porridge oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Grating of fresh nutmeg
- 75g raisins
- 850ml milk (cow’s or plant milk)
- 1 tbsp nut butter, such as almond (optional)
- Honey, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the grated carrots, porridge oats, cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, raisins, and milk into a medium-sized pan. Add the nut butter if using.
- Cook Porridge: Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Continue until the oats and carrots are soft and the mixture has thickened into a creamy porridge.
- Adjust Consistency: If the porridge becomes too thick during cooking, add a splash more milk to achieve your desired creaminess.
- Serve: Spoon the porridge into bowls, adding a splash of milk and a drizzle of honey on top, if desired, for extra sweetness and moisture.
Notes
- You can substitute cow’s milk with any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy to suit dietary preferences.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or omit it if you prefer a less sweet porridge.
- For added texture and nutrition, top with nuts or seeds like chopped almonds or chia seeds.
- Stir the porridge regularly while cooking to avoid lumps and sticking to the pan.
- Leftover porridge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated with a splash of milk.
