Carrot Cake Protein Oatmeal Bowl
1. Overview
Grated carrot, cinnamon, raisins, and walnuts give this oatmeal the familiar flavor of carrot cake. As the carrot cooks, it becomes tender and slightly sweet, blending naturally into the creamy oats. A spoonful of yogurt on top adds richness and freshness, making the bowl feel special without being difficult to prepare.

3. Instructions
5 StepsPeel a fresh sweet carrot and grate it finely using the small holes of a box grater so it cooks rapidly and melts into the oats.
In a saucepan, combine the grated carrot, rolled oats, milk, cinnamon, and raisins. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat.
Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots are tender and the raisins plump up in the thick spiced oatmeal.
Remove from the heat and allow to rest for 60 seconds. Whisk in the vanilla protein powder until completely smooth and creamy.
Spoon into a bowl. Add a dollop of thick Greek yogurt on top to resemble cream cheese frosting, scatter chopped walnuts, and drizzle honey.
