Our Quick Carrot Oats Recipe
Oats are a true superfood. They are an excellent source of fiber, especially beta-glucan, which both lowers cholesterol and promotes heart health. They also contain many vitamins and minerals such as: magnesium, iron, zinc, and vitamin B.
Carrots are also incredibly healthy. They are rich in beta-carotene, which the body processes into vitamin A and is important for eye health. Like oatmeal, carrots also provide a good amount of fiber, which not only supports digestion, but keeps you feeling fuller longer. By pairing oatmeal with carrots, this dish will provide you with energy for hours.
Another plus: The carrots in this recipe give the porridge a pop of orange, making our dish look as good as it tastes.
Another reason why our carrot porridge is so popular is because of its versatility. You can adjust it to your own preferences and pantry. Add some grated ginger to give it a spicier note, or refine it with a touch of vanilla or cinnamon. There are no limits to the toppings either: Nuts, raisins, shredded coconut, or a dollop of yogurt are perfect to switch things up, even if just a smidge.
Oatmeal is wonderfully adapatable and can be prepared with a wide variety of ingredients. Try our zoats, tiramisu overnight oats, and pink oatmeal for a wonderful treat.
