This carrot cake oatmeal with pecans takes all the best flavours of the classic cake - and turns it into porridge for breakfast! So easy and delicious.

Carrot Cake Porridge

As I'm sure you can imagine, I love my vegetables.

It can be hard to get your veg at breakfast and at the moment, with the days drawing in, the scarves coming out and the leaves on the ground, I don't really fancy a cold breakfast.

Hot porridge oats are making a welcome return to my breakfast table and are an easy way to get that first portion of veg for the day: in carrot cake oatmeal.

It's amazing how porridge can really taste of carrot cake! The ginger, cinnamon and other spices. The warm, plump raisins, the carrots. Healthy bliss.
