Carrot Cake Oatmeal

I got this idea from Kath's Blog and knew immediately I had to make this. (I'm a big fan of carrot cake!) I did make a lot of changes but kept the general idea...so here is my version...

Carrot Cake Oatmeal:

1/2 cup oat bran

1 cup water + 1/2 cup almond milk

1 carrot, grated

2 tbsp diced mango or pineapple

2 chopped dates

1 tsp. Vanilla extract

A dash or two of... Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Allspice, and Ground Ginger

pinch of salt

Frosting:

2 tbsp plain or vanilla coconut yogurt

1 tsp agave nectar or to taste

Combine all ingredients for oats in a small pot. Bring to a bowl, lower to med-low heat, and stir until very thick. While the oats are cooking make the "frosting". Stir together the coconut yogurt and agave in a small bowl. When oats are done, pour into a bowl and top with frosting and a dollop of nut butter (not pictured). Enjoy a guiltless delectable "dessert" =)
