Carrot Cake Overnight Oats | Healthy Breakfast Meal Prep

These overnight oats taste just like a slice of carrot cake but in a creamy, nourishing breakfast form. The oats soak up the sweet spices, shredded carrot, and a touch of maple syrup overnight for a delicious grab-and-go meal. I love topping mine with raisins and chopped walnuts for extra texture and flavor. It’s a wholesome way to start your morning with dessert-like satisfaction.

Ingredients

One Serving:

1/2 cup Rolled Oats

1/2 cup Plant Milk (or water) more if you like

2 Tablespoons Grated Carrot

1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp Brown Sugar or White Sugar (or to taste)

Optional add-ins: chopped walnuts, raisins, or shredded coconut if you want it extra “carrot-cake” style.

OR

Four Servings:

2 cups Rolled Oats

2 to 3 cups Plant Milk (start with 2 for thicker oats, 3 for creamier)

8 Tablespoons (½ cup) Grated Carrot

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

4 teaspoons Brown Sugar or White Sugar (or to taste)

If you love carrot cake as much as I do, these overnight oats are your dream breakfast come true. They’ve got that same cozy flavor with cinnamon, shredded carrots, and a touch of maple sweetness—but made for busy mornings.

I love prepping them in jars so breakfast is already waiting for me when I wake up. Top with raisins, nuts, or a spoonful of vegan yogurt for an extra creamy touch!

Instructions

In a jar or container, combine rolled oats and grated carrot.

Sprinkle in cinnamon and sugar.

Pour in plant milk and stir well.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, give it a stir and enjoy cold, or heat it up for a warm breakfast.

Tip: These keep in the fridge for up to 4 days, so prep several jars at once for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.

Total Cost per Serving: ≈ $0.35–$0.40 (depending on add-ins)
