Carrot Cake Overnight Oats (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup old fashioned oats
02 -
⅔ cup Greek yogurt
03 -
1 cup milk of your choice
04 -
¼ cup vanilla protein powder
05 -
¼ cup finely grated carrots (about 3-4 baby carrots)
06 -
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 -
2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar
08 -
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
09 -
2 tablespoons raisins
10 -
Small pinch of ground ginger
11 -
Small pinch of ground nutmeg
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a mixing bowl and toss in all your ingredients. Stir everything thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth - you don't want any clumps of protein powder or spices hiding in there.
02 -
Divide the mixture between two containers or jars. Feel free to sprinkle some extra goodies on top like more raisins, chopped nuts, or additional coconut flakes if you're feeling fancy.
03 -
Pop your containers in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours, though overnight works perfectly. When you're ready to eat, you can enjoy it straight from the fridge or warm it up in the microwave for a cozy breakfast. A little drizzle of extra honey or maple syrup on top makes it even better.
# Notes:
01 -
These oats will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or however long your milk and yogurt remain good.
02 -
Make sure to grate your carrots really fine so they blend nicely into the oats without creating chunks or an overpowering texture.
