Instructions
Gently cook the grated carrot in a knob of butter, a squeeze of honey and splash of boiling water, in a small pan.
Meanwhile cook the porridge as you would normally, with milk and honey in a saucepan on the hob until creamy. Add more milk if it’s getting too thick.
When carrot and porridge are cooked combine the two and add the spices.
Serve with the cream and walnuts.
Nutrition Info
Oats
Oats are particularly high in manganese which is great for healthy bone formation, healthy skin and helping to control blood sugar. Oats are a wholegrain, that means the good stuff hasn’t been removed. Wholegrains are an important source of B vitamins and fibre.
Oats are a great source of the soluble fibre called beta-glucan. That’s what makes porridge kinda viscous and it stays quite viscous as it passes through you, sweeping up any excess cholesterol as it goes. A happy gut is at the heart of good health!
Oats do a special thing – as they pass through your intestine their bulk presses against its muscly walls. It presses back in response and by doing so its muscles get stronger. Oats are literally like a sparring partner for your digestive tract!

Dangling a carrot in front of a donkey—or anyone else for that matter—is not nice, and not fair, unless you eventually plan to give it up to them.
