Carrot Cake Overnight Oats | Slimming Eats recipes (2024)

Love carrot cake? Then make thisCarrot Cake Overnight Oats tonight and they'll be ready for breakfast tomorrow.

Sometimes, I just lovea quick breakfast in the mornings and overnight oats are perfect for when you know you have a busy day ahead.

You can mix all your ingredients together in a jar or glass, add to the fridge and then all you need to do in the morning is take out and enjoy.

When I say mix though, I don't mean mix everything together so it is just a gloopy coloured tackiness, you can still make it pretty by adding layers. It looks so much more appetizing this way. Our eyes really do play a big part in us enjoying our food. If it looks good and tastes good, then you are really going to enjoy it all that more.

The best part of all with this Carrot Cake Overnight Oats is that it includes a good amount of vegetables, something that can be hard to add to your plate, especially at breakfast time. I go for a mixture of apple and carrot, the apple adds some speedy sweeteners while the carrot adds some speedy veg, and well it is Carrot Cake Overnight Oats, so it would just be wrong if it didn't contain the main ingredient, right?

I also like to crumble a biscuit on the top of the Carrot Cake Overnight Oats. You can omit the biscuit if you want, butthe cookie just bumps it up to the next level in deliciousness.It is totally up to you what kind of biscuit yougo for.

This Carrot Cake Overnight Oats, I found sweet enough with the yoghurt and fruit. I recommend tasting the oat and yoghurt mixture before you begin the layering, just to ensure it is to your required sweetness, as you can always add a little bit of a a natural sweetener like Sukrin:1,if it isn't sweet enough for you.

I also add a little bit of cashew milk to the mixture, just to thin it out a bit, as with just the yoghurt it can be quite thick, you can use any milk of choice here, but again, you may need to adjust if you use a different one to me. I love Silk Cashew milk which we get here in the US and Canada as it is super creamy.

Try usinga sweet apple like a honeycrisp or similar in this Carrot Cake Overnight Oats, rather than an apple like a golden delicious. You want the lovely combination of asweet crunchy apple in the layers.

This recipe is also gluten free when using gluten free oats and is vegetarian friendly.
