Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

I’m here for all things carrot cake this time of year. Anyone else!? As soon as the weather starts to warm up and the seasons change, I look for all the reasons to have everything carrot cake, lemon flavored, you name it!

Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

What I love about these carrot cake overnight oats are the extra serving of veggies that comes with eating them! Sneaking in some veggies here without even realizing it will make a great start to your day. A little tip if you’re serving these to your kiddos: cut up the carrot into even smaller pieces (I just used shredded carrots here) so that your kids won’t pick them out or even notice they are in there!

I love to eat overnight oats right out of the fridge. But, I grew to love them that way. If you’re more of a hot oatmeal fan, then you can definitely heat these up on the stove. I would recommend adding a little more almond milk when you go to heat them up.

What you need to make Carrot Cake Overnight Oats:

• Rolled Oats
• Shredded carrots
• Vanilla yogurt
• Almond Milk
• Cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, allspice
• Maple syrup
• Shredded Coconut
• Raisins
• Vanilla extract

If you love overnight oats as much as I do, then you’ll also love these recipes on One Balanced Life:

• Strawberry Banana Overnight Oats
• Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats
• Chunky Monkey Overnight Oats
• Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

A few tips on storing these:

• I always store them in a tight sealed container! A few that I love are Weck jars, Porter bowls, and Ball mason jars
• I store them in the fridge overnight!

Recipe tip: This recipe serves two but you can split it up if you want two separate jars.
