Carrot cake overnight oats – creamy make-ahead oats with all the flavour of carrot cake.
If you love carrot cake, you really need to try these carrot cake overnight oats.
They are the easiest overnight oats with the most wonderful carrot cake flavour – creamy, lightly spiced and with plenty of vanilla. The base is made with vanilla skyr and milk – plus oats and chia seeds, which give a really pleasing texture and add extra protein at the same time. I love how the skyr brings both sweetness and flavour, so the oats almost feel like a little dessert first thing in the morning.
The oats are flavoured with cinnamon, cardamom and a little honey, which together with the finely grated carrot give exactly the right “carrot cake vibe”. You can also add a little allspice for an even spicier version – it works really well.
Everything is stirred together and left to soak in the fridge overnight, so you wake up to a breakfast that is ready and waiting. Before serving, I give the oats a good stir and adjust the consistency with a splash more milk or skyr if they have set too firmly.
Top with a little extra vanilla skyr, granola and chopped nuts – and you have a breakfast that is easy, filling and genuinely inviting. Perfect for busy mornings, as a snack or as part of a brunch spread.
