Ingredients
- 2½ cups water
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar (more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts (extra for topping)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- ⅓ cup vanilla yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Steps
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring water, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to a boil. (Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't boil over)
-
Add the oats, carrots, and raisins, reduce the heat to medium low, and let simmer for 18 to 21 minutes stirring frequently so the milk doesn't burn.
-
While the oatmeal is cooking, in a small bowl whisk the cream cheese until fluffy and smooth. Gradually add the yogurt, stirring after each addition. Stir in the cinnamon.
-
Remove the oats from the heat and stir in walnuts and butter. Top with the cream cheese and additional walnuts if desired.
