Good to know:

• Grate the carrots using the fine side of the grater (if using a box grater) so that they are easy to mix through the base oat recipe and you don't have big, thick clumps of carrot in there.

• This recipe makes enough to fill 4x 300 - 350ml jars or containers.

• Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
