Notes
- We suggest using rolled oats for this recipe, but instant oats will work, too. The texture will just be a bit different.
- Feel free to use whatever ‘carrot cake’ mix-ins you’d like.
- Add more maple if you’d like these to be more of a dessert rather than a breakfast cup.
- Regular raisins can be used in place of golden raisins.
