Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 3/4 cup grated carrot (about one small to medium carrot)
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1-2 teaspoons agave or maple syrup (depending on desired sweetness)
Toppings
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix grated carrot, rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and your choice of 1 to 2 teaspoons of agave or maple syrup until fully combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the almond milk and flavors.
- Add Toppings and Serve: In the morning, stir the soaked oats gently, then top with chopped walnuts and coconut flakes. Serve chilled and enjoy a healthy carrot cake inspired breakfast.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less agave or maple syrup according to your preference.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other milk of your choice such as oat milk or dairy milk.
- For a creamier texture, add a spoonful of yogurt before refrigerating.
- Walnuts can be toasted for extra crunch and flavor.
- Prepare individual servings in jars for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
