Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 ½ tablespoons water
- ⅓ cup rolled oats gluten-free, if preferred
- ⅔ cup water
- 1 small carrot
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1-2 tablespoons walnuts
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ - 1 teaspoon date syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Plant-based protein powder optional
Instructions
- Start by preparing the flaxseed mixture. In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds with the 1 ½ tablespoons of water and place it in the fridge to set.
- Next, in the bowl you plan to eat from, mix the rolled oats with ⅔ cup water. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes or until the oats have softened.
- While the oats are cooking, peel and grate the carrot. Gather the raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, date syrup, vanilla extract, and protein powder (if using).
- Once the oatmeal is ready, add the flaxseed mixture, grated carrot, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, date syrup, and protein powder into the bowl. Stir thoroughly to combine. If the oatmeal feels too thick after mixing, heat a little extra water in the microwave and add it to adjust the consistency to your liking. Serve hot and enjoy!
