180ml non-fat milk
1 egg white
20g raisins
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1 tsp vanilla extract
5-10 drops stevia
1/4 tsp salt
20g walnuts, chopped
- Grate carrot using box grater.

Notes
- Pro-tip: Toast your walnuts for them to be extra nutty and delicious!
- Feel free to omit walnuts or substitute with another nut or seed of choice.
- Feel free to substitute stevia with any other sweetener of choice.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of stevia or whatever sweetener you’re using according to your taste preference. I personally found that the raisins already add a bit of natural sweetness so I didn’t need to add a lot of stevia.
- The egg white adds extra protein and makes the oatmeal super fluffy. However you may omit it if you like.
- Feel free to substitute non-fat milk with any other milk of choice.
