Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 1 cup Grated Carrot Adds natural sweetness and a pop of color; switch to shredded zucchini for a twist.
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats The hearty base that provides texture; instant oats can be used for quicker meals.
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds Provide thickness and packed with omega-3s; flaxseeds are a suitable alternative.
  • 1 cup Almond Milk Creamy liquid to soak oats; any plant-based milk like soy or oat works too!
  • 1 teaspoon Natural Vanilla Extract Elevates the flavor; consider using almond or maple extract for a different sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Delivers warming spice notes; feel free to experiment with nutmeg or ginger for richness.
  • 2 tablespoons Agave or Maple Syrup Sweetener to taste; for non-vegan options, use honey instead.
For the Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Walnuts Adds a satisfying crunch and healthy fats; substitute with pecans or almonds as preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Flakes Infuses a tropical vibe; skip it or use raw coconut for a fresher taste.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Airtight container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrot, rolled oats, chia seeds, and your choice of almond milk. Stir gently to ensure everything is evenly distributed, and the oats are well-coated in the liquid.
  2. Incorporate the natural vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and your preferred sweetener, such as agave or maple syrup. Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes until well-blended.
  3. Cover the mixture securely with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate overnight for at least 8 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid.
  4. In the morning, give the oats a good stir to ensure everything is well combined again.
  5. Top your Carrot Cake Overnight Oats with chopped walnuts and coconut flakes. Optionally, add more grated carrot for extra texture and sweetness. Serve cold or gently warm it up in the microwave for a comforting experience.
