Description
A delicious and healthy way to start your day with overnight oats packed with nutrients.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
- ½ Tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- ¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or plain)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ Tbsp pure maple syrup (1 Tbsp if you want it sweeter)
- ¼ cup grated carrots (I use a box grater to grate a large carrot)
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 Tbsp golden raisins or chopped dates
- 1 Tbsp chopped nuts
Instructions
- In a mason jar or other small container with a lid, mix the dry ingredients including the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
- Add the wet ingredients to the oat mixture including the yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, milk, and grated carrots. Give it a good stir until everything is well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least for 4 hours to let the oats soak.
- When ready to serve, add your favorite toppings. Chopped dates or golden raisins, softened cream cheese, chopped nuts, and a dash of cinnamon are my favorite toppings.
Notes
- Customize with your favorite fruits or toppings for added flavor.
