Ingredients

2 small carrots, peeled and grated
180g porridge oats
1 tsp cinnamon
grating of fresh nutmeg
75g raisins
850ml milk (cow’s or plant milk work well)
1 tbsp nut butter, such as almond (optional)
honey, to serve (optional)

Method

Put all the ingredients apart from the honey in a pan and cook over a medium heat for 10-15 mins, stirring often, until the oats and carrots are soft and the porridge is creamy.
Add a little more milk as it cooks if it’s too thick. Serve with a splash more milk and a drizzle of honey, if you like.
