2 1/2 cups milk, or water
1 cup quick oats
2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
1/4 to 1/3 cup honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Instructions
WHISK eggs with milk and oats in a medium saucepan and set over medium-low. Add carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until very creamy, about 15 min. Stir in honey, cinnamon and salt.
DIVIDE among 4 bowls. Sprinkle with pecans.
