Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup Rolled Oats (45g)
- 1 Tbsp Unsweetened Shredded Coconut (5g)
- 1½ tsp Chia Seeds (7g)
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp Nutmeg

- ⅔ cup Almond Milk
Flavorings & Sweeteners
- 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup (Stevia Sweetened)

Instructions
- Prepare the Carrot: Finely grate or shred one medium-sized carrot to ensure it blends well with the oats and releases natural moisture for a tender texture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or container, mix together rolled oats, grated carrot, shredded coconut, chia seeds, stevia-sweetened maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, Greek yogurt, and almond milk until well combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate the mixture overnight, or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soak and absorb the liquids for a creamy consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, stir the oats, then top with additional grated carrot, shredded coconut, and optionally chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture and flavor. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.
- For a sweeter taste, adjust the amount of stevia-sweetened maple syrup according to your preference.
- Adding nuts like pecans or walnuts gives a nice crunch and boosts protein and healthy fats.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prepping; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make it vegan, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
