Carrot Cake Overnight Oats
Carrot Cake Overnight Oats mix rolled oats with almond milk, grated carrot, raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, almond extract, and coconut. Left to soak overnight, the oats soften and absorb flavors, creating a creamy, spiced breakfast similar to carrot cake. Chopped walnuts on top add texture and a nutty finish.

Ingredients
- ½ cup oats
- ¾ cup almond milk or any milk, unsweetened
- 3 Tablespoons carrot grated
- ½ - 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ Tablespoon raisins
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract optional
- 1 Tablespoon flaked coconut unsweetened
- 1 Tablespoon walnuts for topping, chopped, or pecans
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except the nuts in a container and stir until well combined. Seal with a lid and place in the fridge overnight (or at least a couple hours).
- Bring out of the fridge in the morning and stir. You'll notice that the oats soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more almond milk before serving. Top oats with chopped nuts and serve.

Notes
- Any dairy or non-dairy milk can be used to suit dietary preferences.
- Honey or other natural liquid sweeteners can replace maple syrup if desired.
- For lower sugar, sugar alternatives like stevia or monk fruit work well.
- Add protein by mixing in a scoop of protein powder or some Greek yogurt; reduce milk accordingly.
