Carrots are so versatile we often forget that they are great for sweet AND savory dishes. With spring around the corner, we thought what better way to use carrots than in carrot cake! But wanting to keep things on the lighter side, we opted to create some carrot cake flavored oats for a healthy and delicious breakfast. Baking the oatmeal gives a slightly different texture that we loved. Perfect for a Saturday morning breakfast.
