How to Make the Best Carrot Cake Oatmeal

Start your morning with a bowl of carrot cake oatmeal that tastes like dessert but is packed with wholesome, nutritious ingredients. This cozy breakfast combines the warm, comforting flavors of carrot cake—think cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger—with hearty rolled oats and naturally sweet carrot juice.

What makes this recipe special is its simplicity. In just 10 minutes, you can have a steaming bowl of oatmeal that’s naturally vegan, gluten-free, and incredibly satisfying. The fresh carrot juice adds a subtle sweetness and beautiful orange hue, while the grated carrots provide a pleasant texture that makes each bite interesting.

Top your oatmeal with a drizzle of pure maple syrup and a generous sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds for the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes getting out of bed on a cold morning totally worth it.

Instructions

Oatmeal

  1. Bring the water, carrot juice, oats, raisins, grated carrot (if using), spices, and salt to a boil in a small pot.
  2. Cover and simmer on low for 5 minutes or until the oats are cooked through and have absorbed the liquid.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with maple syrup. Sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Fresh carrot juice gives this oatmeal a naturally sweet, vibrant flavor, but vanilla oat milk works as a delicious substitute.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices to your preference - a combination of cinnamon and ginger works particularly well.
  • Add more or less grated carrot depending on how much texture you want in your oatmeal.
