These oats taste just like Carrot Cake, only healthier. Super quick to make and double or triple the ingredient quantities for easy breakfasts throughout the week, this is a great breakfast recipe to turn to for those busy mornings. Make the night before for a fuss free tasty breakfast the following day.
Tips for making this recipe
- Avoid using quick oats. These oats are finer in consistency which means they soak up the liquid faster and as a result speeds up the process, leading to a dried out oat mix.
- Double or triple the ingredient quantities. This way you get more tasty breakfasts for minimal effort throughout the week.
- Store the overnight oats in the fridge. You want to store your overnight oats in the fridge rather than at an ambient room temperature.
- Use a food processor. If you have one, use a food processor for speed when grating the carrot(s). Otherwise a normal grater will work just as well.
Recipe variations
The great thing about this recipe is how adaptable it is. Whilst this one is carrot cake why not mix it up a little and add whatever flavour combination you have handy in the kitchen:
- Chocolate chips
- Dried fruit or nuts
- Raspberries, blackberries or grated apple
- Other grated vegetables like courgette
- Try using the same recipe but cooking it out on the hob top to create carrot cake porridge instead
