Carrot Cake Oatmeal
More decadent and nutritious than any flavor of pre-packaged instant oatmeal.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 (multiply amounts below to make a batch)
Ingredients:
½ cup instant oats
1 ½ Tbsp dried carrots*
1 Tbsp raisins
1 Tbsp coconut milk
1 tsp coconut sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
⅛ tsp nutmeg
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp shredded coconut
*can be purchased in the bulk section of most natural food stores, or see below for dehydrator instructions
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in airtight, single serving size bags.
To dehydrate your own carrots, shred carrots in food processor, then dehydrate at 135F for 2-4 hours or until all the moisture is completely gone. Carrots will be tiny!
At your campsite, add just enough water to cover the oatmeal (add more water for a soupier consistency). Simmer for 3-7 minutes or until all ingredients are tender.
