Step 1
Pour 1.5 cups milk into a saucepan and set the heat to medium-high until small bubbles form around the edge and steam rises from the surface, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add 1 cup rolled oats and 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the hot milk, then stir constantly with a wooden spoon to combine.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium-low and stir once every 20 seconds for 4 minutes, until the oatmeal thickens and looks creamy with no visible liquid pools.
Step 4
Stir in 0.75 cup shredded carrots and 2 tablespoons maple syrup until completely mixed.
Step 5
Divide the oatmeal between two bowls, using a ladle or large spoon to scoop from the center of the pot into each bowl.
Step 6
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts on top of each bowl in an even layer.
