No-cook Overnight Carrot Cake Oats | Easy Plant-based Breakfasts

👩🏻‍🌾 I came across a recipe for carrot cake oats and had to try it out. Carrot cake is my favorite. 

.

I tweaked it a bit. Okay, this doesn’t taste exactly like cake but it’s a nice change to the oatmeal game. Best thing is that it can be prepared the night before. Eat straight from the fridge or heat it up like I did. Another overnight oats recipe- adding it to the book. 

.

👩🏻‍🍳Healthy Chef tip: when you shred carrots, do extra and store them in the fridge. Add shredded carrots to your stir-frys, healthy bowls, soups or tomato sauce. Carrots add natural sweetness and burst of color.
