Carrot Cake Overnight Oats combine the warm, comforting flavors of traditional carrot cake with the wholesome goodness of oats. This healthy brunch option is perfect for a quick and nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

• Rolled oats - 1 cup
• Almond milk - 1 cup
• Grated carrots - 1/2 cup
• Chia seeds - 2 tablespoons
• Maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Ground nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Walnuts, chopped - 1/4 cup
• Raisins - 1/4 cup
• Greek yogurt (optional) - 1/2 cup

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, grated carrots, chia seeds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
2. Stir the mixture until well combined and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some liquid and thicken the mixture.
3. Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers, layering in chopped walnuts and raisins on top.
4. Cover the jars or containers and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to let the oats soften and the flavors meld.
5. In the morning, stir the oats and top with Greek yogurt if desired, additional walnuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
