Carrot Cake Porridge

Although spring is now here, mornings still have a tendency to be a little on the cooler side, so still perfect porridge weather. Being a wholegrain, I love the health benefits that oats provide, including gut-loving prebiotic fibre, B vitamins and various minerals including zinc, selenium and magnesium. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
