Carrot cake for breakfast? Not quite cake but the taste is incredibly similar! What a delightful treat. After over a week of cleansing my husband and I treated ourselves to a big warm bowl of oatmeal. Not just any oatmeal, carrot cake oatmeal. It had one big carrot in it so I felt good serving it up. I looked up some of the best carrot cake recipes and took the healthy portions like the carrots, walnuts, cinnamon, vanilla and added some raisins and oats to create one heck of a way to start your day. Impress your loved ones with a memorable breakfast. "That was delicious honey" raved my husband!

Good points!
We ate this all between the two of us! Feel free to do the same. It is so delicious it is hard not to! We also got in a lot of movement and had a salad and soup for dinner to balance it out. If you are watching calories, divide it into 4 servings at 392 calories per person. I hope you LOVE this delicious breakfast! Love, Christa
