  • Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (100g) rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup (40g) grated carrots, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp (14g) chia seeds
  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp (15g) walnuts or pecans, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp (12g) shredded toasted unsweetened coconut
  • 1-2 Tbsp (10-20g) raisins
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (355ml) milk (any kind)
  • 2-3 Tbsp (30-45ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2-3 Tbsp whole milk Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a mason jar or airtight container, combine 1 cup rolled oats, ⅓ cup grated carrots, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ¾ teaspoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans, 2 tablespoons shredded toasted coconut, 1-2 tablespoons raisins, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  2. Add the Wet Ingredients – Pour in 1½ cups of your choice of milk, 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness of milk used), 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and if desired, 2-3 tablespoons of whole milk Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight – Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.
  4. Stir & Serve – Before eating, give the oats a good stir to mix any separated liquids. Enjoy the oats cold or warm them up in the microwave if you prefer a hot breakfast option.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk such as dairy, almond, oat, or soy depending on your preference or dietary needs.
  • Adding Greek yogurt is optional but will make the oats creamier and adds protein.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup based on the natural sweetness of your milk choice.
  • Feel free to substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts altogether for a nut-free version.
  • Overnight oats can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge for convenience.
