Carrot Cake Oatmeal

Most people indulged in a nice slice of carrot cake over Easter weekend and since I missed out, I had to make up for it by recreating it in my morning oats.  This was so fantastic and I was so disappointed when I reached the bottom of the jar, that I've had to recreate this breakfast several times this week!
