Description
Creamy, spiced overnight oats inspired by carrot cake, naturally sweetened and easy to prepare the night before, perfect for a quick and nutritious breakfast.
Ingredients
Base
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk or almond milk
Add-ins
- ¼ cup grated carrot
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- ¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Mix the rolled oats, milk or almond milk, grated carrot, chia seeds, cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup thoroughly in a jar to combine all the flavors well.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar and refrigerate it overnight (about 8 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats again to mix any settled ingredients. Optionally, add nuts or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor before enjoying.

- Can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days, making it convenient for meal prep.
