Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

A cozy make-ahead breakfast from Natalie’s kitchen — creamy oats layered with cinnamon, carrots, maple, and a soft vanilla “icing” that tastes a little like dessert while still nourishing your body beautifully.

This recipe is fully inspired by Mitch because he absolutely loves carrot cake.

And now he gets to eat it for breakfast.

Well…sort of.

These overnight oats somehow taste indulgent and comforting while still being packed with ingredients that genuinely leave you feeling good.

Creamy oats. Warm cinnamon spice. Sweet carrots. Vanilla yogurt icing. Crunchy pecans on top.

It feels cozy and nostalgic in the best way.

I especially love making a batch of these ahead of time because mornings feel calmer when breakfast is already waiting in the fridge.

And honestly? Anything served in little glass jars somehow feels extra special.

Why We Love It

Oats

A comforting source of fiber that helps support digestion, steady energy, and gut health.

Chia + Hemp Seeds

Loaded with healthy fats, plant protein, and nutrients that help make this breakfast more satisfying and nourishing.

Carrots

Bring natural sweetness along with skin-supportive nutrients and beautiful texture.

Make-Ahead Simplicity

One of my favorite ways to make nourishing choices feel easier during busy weeks.

Ingredients

Oat Mixture

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
  • 2/3 cup shredded carrot
  • 2 medjool dates, chopped
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon and clove blend
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Vanilla “Icing”

  • 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Optional toppings:

  • chopped pecans
  • cinnamon
  • shredded coconut
  • extra maple drizzle

Directions

Combine all oat ingredients in a medium bowl and stir well until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, almond butter, and maple syrup until smooth and creamy.

Layer the oat mixture and vanilla icing into jars or a glass container.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, top with pecans or additional cinnamon if desired.

Serve chilled.

Glow Note

I love recipes that make nourishing food feel cozy and comforting instead of restrictive.

Something sweet waiting in the fridge the next morning just makes life feel a little softer somehow.

Especially when it tastes like carrot cake.

Love + Eat Well,
