# How to Make It:
01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, thoroughly mix oats, milk, yogurt, grated carrots, sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well incorporated.
02 - Gently fold in chopped nuts, raisins, and shredded coconut if using. Distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
03 - Cover container tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften.
04 - In the morning, stir oats thoroughly. Add a splash of milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.
05 - Divide between two bowls or jars. Top with extra grated carrot, yogurt, nuts, or maple syrup as desired.
06 - Serve chilled. Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
# Expert tips:
01 -
- Waking up to breakfast thats already waiting for you feels like a small luxury
- Everything you love about carrot cake happens to be pretty good for you
02 -
- The oats continue softening in the fridge, so if you prefer some texture, dont let them sit longer than 24 hours
- Freshly grated carrots release more moisture and blend better than the pre-shredded ones from the store
03 -
- Use a wide-mouth jar if meal prepping, it makes stirring and accessing the oats much easier
- Grate your carrots finely so they almost disappear into the mixture for picky eaters
