Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup grated carrots
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional for extra thickness)
- 1 tbsp raisins (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped walnuts (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, grated carrots, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and chia seeds (if using). Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Add optional ingredients: Stir in raisins if you’d like a sweet, chewy texture in your oats.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a stir. If they are too thick, you can add a little more milk to loosen the consistency. Top with chopped walnuts or additional raisins, if desired.
