Description

This vibrant and healthy Carrot Cake Overnight Oats recipe combines the comforting flavors of carrot cake with the convenience of a no-cook, make-ahead breakfast. Loaded with rolled oats, chia seeds, warm spices, and sweetened naturally with maple syrup, these overnight oats are creamy, wholesome, and perfect for busy mornings or a nutritious snack.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Carrot Cake Overnight Oat Batter:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch of salt (no more than 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 3/4-1 cup oat milk (use 3/4 cup for thicker oats, up to 1 cup based on preference)
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons vegan cream cheese or plain vegan yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup peeled & grated carrots

Optional Toppings:

  • plant-based yogurt
  • shredded carrots
  • chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the spices and seeds.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the oat milk, maple syrup, vegan cream cheese (or plain vegan yogurt), vanilla bean paste or extract, and peeled grated carrots to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a thick, consistent batter, breaking up any large clumps of cream cheese.
  3. Refrigerate the Oats: Pour the prepared batter evenly into two glass jars or containers. Seal them tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors fully.
  4. Serve Cold with Toppings: The next morning, remove the jars from the fridge. Add any desired toppings such as plant-based yogurt, shredded carrots, or chopped pecans before enjoying the oats cold.

Notes

  • Refer to the blog post for detailed substitution options and recipe tips.
