Carrot cake overnight oats combine the flavors of a classic carrot cake into a quick, healthy, and nutritious breakfast. Packed with shredded carrots, raisins, and a touch of cinnamon and ginger, this recipe offers the comfort of carrot cake without the added sugar and butter.

  • Total Time: 12 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

⅔ cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works best)

½ cup shredded carrots

¼ cup raisins

1 Tbsp honey (or pure maple syrup)

1 Tbsp chopped walnuts (optional)

2 tsp chia seeds

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ginger powder

¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients: rolled oats, milk, plain yogurt, shredded carrots, raisins, honey, chopped walnuts (if using), chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger powder, and salt.
  2. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Pour the oats mixture into a container or jar and seal with a lid.
  4. Place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the oats to absorb all the liquid.
  5. In the morning, remove from the fridge and stir well. Add any desired toppings before serving. Overnight oats are typically eaten cold with a spoon.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
  • Customize by adding other dried fruits or nuts of your choice.
  • If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, add more honey or maple syrup.
  • To make it creamier, use full-fat yogurt or more milk.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
