Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, mix together rolled oats, grated carrots, diced apple, milk of your choice, and water. Add a dash of maple syrup or honey for sweetness, along with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir everything together until well combined.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Once the mixture reaches a simmer, reduce the heat slightly and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. When the oatmeal reaches your desired level of creaminess, remove it from the heat. Spoon it into bowls and add a drizzle of syrup or honey, if desired.
