Warm up on a chilly morning with a bowl of this carrot cake oatmeal which incorporates all the flavors of your favorite dessert in a healthy vegan breakfast.

Vegan Carrot Cake Oatmeal

There’s nothing better on a chilly day than a big bowl of oatmeal. I usually make a bowl after my Saturday morning workouts when I have a little extra time in the morning. (My go-to breakfast during the week is a green smoothie!) Since oatmeal can be pretty boring on its own, I am always experimenting with new ways to add flavor. In the past I’ve shared a banana bread oatmeal and a gingerbread oatmeal. Today, I am excited to share my vegan carrot cake oatmeal!

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Old fashioned oats: you could also use quick cooking oats if you prefer. I just like the texture of old fashioned oats better.
  • Milk: any milk works, both dairy or non-dairy. Soy milk is what I like to use.
  • Shredded carrot: I like to finely shred mine on the smaller side of the grater.
  • Spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla): these add all the warming flavors you’ll usually find in carrot cake.
  • Maple syrup: adds a bit of natural sweetness. Also, the maple flavor pairs really well with the spices in these oats.
  • Toppings (walnuts, raisins, coconut flakes, hemp hearts, vegan yogurt): go wild with the toppings if you want! I love walnuts, raisins, and coconut chips like I used in the photos. A drizzle of vegan vanilla yogurt on top would also be delicious.

Why This Recipe is Good for You

Enjoy this oatmeal in the morning and you will already have eaten 1 serving of vegetables. Carrots are a great source of beta carotene which is important for a strong immune system as  well as eye and skin health. Also, oatmeal is a great source of soluble fiber which can help lower cholesterol.
