  • 2 1/2 cups milk, or water

  • 1 cup quick oats

  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated

  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup honey

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

  • WHISK eggs with milk and oats in a medium saucepan and set over medium-low. Add carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until very creamy, about 15 min. Stir in honey, cinnamon and salt.

  • DIVIDE among 4 bowls. Sprinkle with pecans.
