Oats have long been recognized as a powerhouse in the realm of health foods, providing a multitude of nutritional benefits. One of the most significant advantages of oats is their high fiber content. Fiber plays a crucial role in digestion, helping to regulate bowel movements and promote a feeling of fullness, which can assist in weight management. In fact, just one serving of oats can provide you with approximately 4 grams of this essential nutrient, making it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their digestive health.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 medium carrot, grated

1/2 ripe banana, mashed

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

1/4 cup raisins

1-2 tbsp maple syrup (to taste)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, cream cheese frosting, extra walnuts, or a drizzle of honey

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add in the grated carrot, mashed banana, applesauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.

      Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the milk.

        Stir in the chopped walnuts, raisins, and maple syrup. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

          Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken slightly.

            Serve warm in bowls and top with your choice of shredded coconut, a dollop of cream cheese frosting, extra walnuts, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
