1 1/2 cups grated carrots (about 3 medium)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl, stir together oats, grated carrots, and optional nuts until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
Combine the wet and dry mixtures, stirring well to ensure everything is incorporated.
