I felt it needed a little more fruit. Also as the carrots sent cooked I found them a little coarse against the soft oats, perhaps ill try using a finer grator next time

After a night, I had wet oats in a puddle of muddy-looking water. That did not look very appetising, so I added a bit more water and heated it, to get a more porridge-like consistency. Which worked, but now it was not overnight oats anymore. The flavour was okay though - but I do wonder how many raisins were ment, a teaspoonful was about five raisins, so I splurged on that :-)

I was skeptical of this recipe at first, but it was actually pretty good. I added extra cinnamon and a bit of extra honey. Very filling! I've also since made it using apple instead of carrot for an apple pie taste. Useful recipe that I'll be making with various different toppings.

Use a fine grator for the carrots . Double the sultanas and honey
