Not all puddings are equal. Take this one for example, technically a cake, eaten at breakfast, no refined sugar, no dairy and nutrition in every spoonful. Breakfast doesn’t get better than this.

METHOD
In a small pot over a medium heat, bring the milk and water to a simmer. Add the oats and bring to a slow boil, then reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 3 minutes.
Add the grated carrots, bananas and raisins or berries, as well as the maple syrup, vanilla essence and spices. Cook for another 3–5 minutes. Pour in the coconut cream and stir well, allowing to simmer for approximately 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and a thick consistency is reached.
Add the toppings and decorate as desired. Enjoy the ‘cake‘ warm.
