Description

A delicious and nutritious Carrot Cake Overnight Oats recipe that combines rolled oats, chia seeds, warm spices, grated carrots, and creamy vegan ingredients for a perfect make-ahead breakfast. This plant-based recipe is easy to prepare and customizable with your favorite toppings like vegan yogurt and pecans.

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 and grated carrots

Optional Toppings:

  • Plant-based yogurt
  • Shredded carrots
  • Chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl. Whisk together to evenly distribute the spices and chia seeds.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the oat milk, maple syrup, vegan cream cheese (or plain vegan yogurt), vanilla bean paste or extract, and the peeled and grated carrots into the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly to create a thick batter, breaking up any large clumps of cream cheese for smooth consistency.
  3. Refrigerate: Pour the oat batter evenly into two glass jars. Seal the jars tightly and place them in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and flavors to meld.
  4. Serve: The next morning, remove the jars from the fridge. Add your choice of optional toppings such as plant-based yogurt, extra shredded carrots, or chopped pecans. Enjoy your cold, ready-to-eat carrot cake-inspired oats straight from the jar!
