Steps:
- In a medium size pan, heat the grated carrot, oats, milk, water, and salt over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 5-6 minutes, stir in the sliced banana. Continue to stir, almost whipping, until the banana breaks down and the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about another 5-6 minutes. The fresh carrot gives off quite a bit of water, so this recipe takes a little longer to thicken up. As I have mentioned in many of my oatmeal recipes, I really like utilizing the banana because it adds so much volume to the oats.
- In a separate small-size bowl, add the greek yogurt, 1/8 tsp of stevia, and 1/8 tsp vanilla and whip together using a hand mixer on medium-low speed. Set aside.
- Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract, wheat germ, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and stevia, to the oatmeal and stir until incorporated. Pour into a serving bowl and top with the cream cheese mixture and the walnuts.

Steps:
- Beat cream cheese and vanilla with a mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add butter, beating until incorporated after each addition.
- Reduce speed to low. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, and beat until fluffy and smooth.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh carrots. Grating the carrots yourself will give you a better texture than using pre-shredded carrots.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be careful not to overcook the oatmeal. It should be cooked through, but still have a slightly chewy texture.
- For a creamier frosting, use full-fat cream cheese. If you only have low-fat cream cheese, you can add a little bit of butter or milk to make it creamier.
- If you don't have maple syrup, you can use honey or agave nectar instead.
