Ingredients    FOR THE OATMEAL:
1 cup Milk (Almond, Soy, Coconut, Your Choice)
1 cup Water
¼ teaspoons Salt
½ cups Rolled Oats
¾ cups Grated Carrot
2 whole Egg Whites, Beaten (or You Can Substitute 3 Tablespoons Of Egg Beaters Whites For The 2 Whole Eggs)
1 Tablespoon Sweetener
½ teaspoons Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 Tablespoon Chopped, Toasted Walnuts

FOR THE ICING DRIZZLE:
2 Tablespoons Nonfat Greek Or Plain Yogurt

1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup Or Agave

FOR THE TOPPINGS:

1 Tablespoon Shredded Coconut (or LOTS)

Preparation Instructions:
Combine milk, water, salt and rolled oats in a saucepan. Bring to simmer (until it’s almost boiling, but not quite) for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add grated carrot. Simmer for another 4 minutes.


Lower heat to medium-low and add the egg whites, immediately stirring vigorously.
Stir in the sweetener, cinnamon, vanilla and walnuts. Allow the oatmeal to cook for another several minutes, until it reaches desired thickness.

Stir together yogurt and maple syrup until combined.

Pour oatmeal into a serving bowl and top with the sweet yogurt drizzle and shredded coconut.
