Carrot Cake Overnight Oats Simple and Tasty Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (plus more for topping)
• 2 tablespoons raisins or currants (optional)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 serving cream cheese yogurt or coconut yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated carrot, and chopped walnuts.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well blended.
3. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir well until all the oats are fully coated.
4. Fold in the raisins or currants if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
5. Transfer the mixture into individual jars or bowls with a lid. Seal them tightly and store in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
6. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, stir in a splash of milk until you reach your desired consistency.
7. Top your overnight oats with additional chopped walnuts and a dollop of cream cheese yogurt or coconut yogurt if desired.
