You might not expect it, but grated carrot in porridge is really delicious. It’s as if you’re having carrot cake for breakfast, and who wouldn’t want that! I love the sweet taste of the oats and the bite of the carrots. Porridge is high in protein and very filling. The carrots give you extra fibre and vitamins!

Ingredients

100 g porridge oats
400 ml water
Pinch of salt
100 ml milk or plant-based milk
2 carrots
Handful of raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Optional: handful of walnuts
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or apple syrup)

Kitchen tools: grater

Method

Clean the carrots and coarsely grate them, then set aside.
Put the porridge oats in a saucepan, add the water and salt. Bring the porridge to the boil while stirring. Let the porridge simmer gently for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Add a little water if the porridge gets too thick – the texture should be creamy.
Add the almond milk, grated carrot, raisins and cinnamon to the porridge. Stir well and heat for 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and divide the porridge between 2 bowls. Garnish with the walnuts and maple syrup.
