Ingredients notes

Carrots – I used baby carrots in this recipe for convenience but you may use regular carrots as well. Overall, the health benefits of carrots are immense and especially its an excellent vegetable that is most beneficial to the eyes.

Oats – I used old fashioned rolled oats here to give this recipe a nice chewy texture. You may use quick oats as well but steel cut oats might not work as expected.

Plant milk – I used beverage style coconut milk but unsweetened almond milk also tastes great in this overnight oats recipe.

Maple syrup – I like the flavor of it. Moreover, it compliments well with the spices and carrots. You may use brown sugar instead if desired.

Spices – along with cinnamon I liked the combination of all spice which beautifully balanced the overall flavor of this recipe.

Thereafter, I divided it equally into glass jars. You may use any bowl of your choice or mason jars.

Afterwards, I refrigerated them overnight with a light lid.

In the morning, I pulled out the jars from the refrigerator and placed them on the working counter. Then, I roughly stirred them and garnished with vegan whipped cream.

I sprinkled little extra cinnamon for myself and devoured every bit of this style of oats recipe.

My kids loved the idea of carrot cake oatmeal and I make it on repeat.

Serving tips

Its best to enjoy them cold straight from the refrigerator. I like to add whipped cream on mine to make it attractive and creamy. Walnuts as toppings also taste excellent in this recipe. Even though it’s already sweetened but raisins are also very good option as one of the garnishes.

Expert tips

  • It is important to use a high speed blender here so as to blend the carrots absolutely smooth for the best results.
  • Since, its a no-cook recipe, make sure to mix oats really well with the blended ingredients so that they soften properly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How can I store?

You may easily refrigerate them in the jars for up to 4 days.

Is it ok to eat overnight oats everyday?

Yes! Oats provide the much needed energy in the morning since its complex carbohydrate. I added carrots so as to increase its fiber and Vitamin A content. Spice likes cinnamon and all-spice also bring many health benefits like antioxidants.

Can I warm overnight oats?

Usually overnight oats are eaten cold but sometimes its ok to warm it up if that’s your preference. However, I would recommend enjoying it cold because it tastes best straight from the refrigerator.
