I’ve been reading on a couple of blogs about a carrot cake oatmeal. I thought it sounded delicious, since carrot cake is one of my favorite cakes (my best recipe is here). I didn’t have everything that I needed for the recipes that I had seen online, so I made my own version (and of course all the ingredients are substitute-able for whatever you have at home…). I added chia seeds as well, in order to amp up the protein! Enjoy!
