Ingredients
Rolled Oats: I prefer the texture of old fashioned rolled oats, but you can use quick oats, too! But don't use steel cut!
Grated Carrot: They wouldn't be carrot cake overnight oats without carrot! Grate the carrot on the small side of the box grater.
Chopped Dates or Raisins: I am not a raisin person, so I used chopped Medjool dates. But, if you like raisins, use them here!
Spices: Cinnamon and nutmeg give this recipe so much flavor. You could also use pumpkin pie spice.
Non-Dairy Milk: I used oatmilk, but almond or soymilk will also work! Use your favorite.
Ground Flax: I wanted to make this overnight oatmeal with no chia seeds, so I used a little ground flax instead.
Instructions
Step 1. In a container with a tight-fitting lid, add oats, non-dairy milk, grated carrot, chopped dates or raisins, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, spices and vanilla.
Mix very well, then place in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 2. In the morning, give the oats a stir and top with any additional toppings you like, such as walnuts, pecans, shredded coconut, sliced banana or berries.
Enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
Yes! I like to double or even triple this recipe so I can have breakfast ready for a few days.
I start with a 1:1 ratio of rolled oats to non-dairy milk, then add mix-ins from there!
Expert Recipe Tips
Use the small side of a box grater to grate the carrot. If you use the large side, the carrot will stay crunchy!
