Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetables
- 1 medium carrot, grated
Instructions
- Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup ensuring a smooth base for the oats to soak.
- Add flavor and texture: Add the grated carrot, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, walnuts, and vanilla extract to the bowl, blending thoroughly to distribute the spices and mix-ins evenly.
- Combine well: Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture into a jar or container with a lid. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and carrot to soften and flavors to meld.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy cold or warm them up briefly if preferred.
Notes
- Walnuts are optional but add great texture and healthy fats.
- Use any milk of choice to customize thickness and flavor.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted or replaced with honey or a sugar-free sweetener depending on dietary needs.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
