As it’s National Carrot Cake Day I thought I’d reshare a pic of one of our favourite breakfasts. In this pic I’ve used a coarse grate for the carrot but I generally do a fine grate as the girls prefer it that way. 
This is an overnight oats but TBH it works just as well made fresh, it’s just a bit more faff time in the morning when everyone is hungry!  Especially useful on a work morning when I haven’t got much time and because it’s so yummy it gets eaten more quickly and with less faff 😂 

The amounts below were for when they were 10 months old. They’re now 16 months and eat about a third of my portion each at breakfast now. 

Ingredients for mine (for the 2 girls): 

60g (25g) Porridge oats,

120ml semi skimmed (50ml plus 25ml for the morning, full cream) milk

1 (1/2) carrot, grated

30g (10g) sultanas

1/2 tsp (about 1/4 tsp) mixed spice

A dollop of Greek yoghurt
Method:

Mix together all (except the yoghurt) of the ingredients and pop in the fridge to soak overnight. 

It’s ready to eat straight out if the fridge in the morning. I dolloped on the yoghurt so that it’s like having the creamy topping on the carrot cake!

I made the same for me and the girls with the exception of semiskimmed milk for me and full cream for them (they had less though of course!). 

I ate mine cold (no cooking needed) but I wanted the girls to have theirs a little warmer and wanted the carrot to be slightly cooked so I added an extra 25ml milk and popped in the microwave for a minute (always ensure that you stir well and ensure cooled sufficiently after microwaving).
