Ingredients
- ½ cup oats
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk
- 3 Tablespoons grated carrots
- ½ - 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ Tablespoon raisins
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract optional
- 1 Tablespoon unsweetened flaked coconut
- 1 Tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans for topping
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.
