Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup Rolled Oats (45g)
  • 1 medium Carrot (61g)
  • 1 Tbsp Unsweetened Shredded Coconut (5g)
  • 1½ tsp Chia Seeds (7g)
  • 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup (Stevia Sweetened)
  • ¼ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp Nutmeg
  • 3 Tbsp Greek Yogurt (42g)
  • ⅔ cup Almond Milk

Instructions

  1. Grate the Carrot: Finely grate or shred the carrot using a grater to ensure it blends well with the oats and releases its natural sweetness.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, mix together the rolled oats, grated carrot, shredded coconut, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, Greek yogurt, and almond milk until well combined.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate the mixture overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Before eating, stir the oats well and top with additional grated carrot, shredded coconut, and a handful of pecans or walnuts if desired for added texture and flavor. Enjoy chilled for a wholesome breakfast.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or using other sweeteners like honey or agave.
  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats may become too mushy.
  • Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and add omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
