A wholesome and easy-to-make Carrot Cake Overnight Oats recipe that combines the flavors of classic carrot cake with the convenience of no-cook oats. Perfect for a nutritious and delicious breakfast ready in minutes, this recipe includes grated carrots, warming spices, raisins, and optional walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, pour in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to mix the wet ingredients well.
  2. Add dry ingredients and spices: Add rolled oats, grated carrot, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and chopped walnuts (if using) to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  3. Transfer to container: Spoon the oat mixture into a jar or container with a lid, ensuring there is enough room for the oats to expand as they soak.
  4. Refrigerate overnight: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
  5. Serve: In the morning, open the container, give the oats a good stir to redistribute any settled ingredients. Enjoy the oats cold straight from the fridge or warm them slightly if preferred.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as dairy milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your taste.
  • Walnuts add a crunchy texture, but you can omit them or substitute with other nuts like pecans or almonds.
  • These overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
