Combine oats, grated carrots, chia seeds, cinnamon, nuts, coconut, raisins, and a pinch of salt in a jar or airtight container.
Stir in milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt if using.
Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
In the morning, stir, adjust consistency with extra milk if needed, and top with more nuts or coconut before serving.

Rolled oats provide the best chewy texture; quick oats will be softer.

Dairy-free versions work well with almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk and plant-based yogurt.

Optional add-ins include protein powder, almond butter, or cream cheese for richness.

Top with pineapple, apple slices, or extra nuts for variety.
