Healthy Carrot Cake Oatmeal Ingredients

Here’s everything you need: rolled oats, cinnamon, yogurt, sweetener and milk of choice, a pinch of salt, and shredded carrots.

For Vegan Carrot Cake Oatmeal, use dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk. The recipe can also be low fat, low calorie and gluten free.

I like to stir in about a tablespoon of softened coconut butter for richness or almond butter for extra protein.

Sometimes I’ll even add a spoonful of homemade Nutella.

If you only have quick oats, they’ll be fine. I haven’t tried this oatmeal recipe with steel cut oats, so I don’t know how well this substitution might work.

Carrots can be either large carrots or small carrots. Feel free to go with orange, yellow, or purple carrots.

How to Make Overnight Oats Carrot Cake

Peel the carrots if they are not already peeled. Crumble in a vegetable peeler or a food processor. I love using a food processor to shred carrots because I find it much easier and faster than doing it by hand.

To make carrot porridge, mix all the ingredients in a jar. Shake the jar very well, then seal tightly with the lid and refrigerate overnight.

The oats absorb all the liquid as they sit, and this thick carrot cake breakfast will be ready to eat the next morning.

Enjoy cold, or you can reheat carrot oats in the microwave or on the stovetop. Recipe makes one serving.
