Baked Carrot Cake Oatmeal - tastes like dessert, but healthy!
The days are getting cooler and shorter. Although I’m not too thrilled about the shorter days, I love the cooler days.
There is something special about fall. The crisp air, the leaves changing color, and the smell of cinnamon, and pumpkin are everywhere.
From a fashion standpoint, I’m excited to get all my flannels and fall boots out.
I’m kicking off September with a delicious Baked Carrot Cake Oatmeal made with walnut milk.
It’s all the carrot cake flavor only healthier and in oatmeal form.
Hope you guys try this, it’s absolutely delicious! Enjoy!

Can you use almond milk in place of walnut milk?
honeywhatscooking says
Hi Melissa.. Absolutely. I know walnut milk may be hard to find. Any vegan milk would work. 🙂

I like fall -- my favorite season. The early sunsets I cold do without. Anyway, great looking dish -- so full of flavor. Thanks!
honeywhatscooking says
Mine too. I don't care for the early sunsets either, but the crisp air is so nice and the smell of cinnamon and pumpkin. Thanks John!

Aditi says
Hi I’m trying to cut out sweet stuff so planning to omit raisins (also I don’t have it at home) . Do you think it will still taste good? Any replacements to suggest? Thanks.
honeywhatscooking says
Hi Aditi. You can skip raisins, no biggie. You can add cranberries if you have them.. or any dried fruit that's a little sweet. If not, it's okay.
