Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

Carrot cake for breakfast?

Here, we use those milks to hydrate oats, creating a creamy, satisfying breakfast.

A sprinkle of cinnamon adds a nice touch of spice, while sliced strawberries provide a pop of color.

Prep and store this easy breakfast ahead of time to have on hand for busy work and school mornings.

Flaky sea salt on top balances the sweetness.

Right before enjoying, a finishing touch of crumbled graham crackers adds a pie-like charm to this easy breakfast.

We top each serving with yogurt for some tanginess, but you could also try swapping in ricotta.

A dusting of cocoa powder on top serves as a nod to the dessert’s iconic look.

Cashew butter adds a mild flavor and creamy texture.

Try almond butter in its place to give this a nuttier twist.

To make these overnight oats dairy-free, swap out the milk for unsweetened oat milk or almond milk.

Applesauce ensures the texture is creamy yet light while also providing balance to the sweet-tart flavor of the oats.

If you dont have Granny Smith apples on hand, Fuji, Gala or Honeycrisp apples work as well.

Crushed honey-roasted peanuts mimic the coating of a caramel apple, but any salty-sweet nut would be delicious.

These creamy overnight oats taste just like the iconic dessert, complete with a crumbled graham cracker topping.

A tangy Key limeflavored yogurt mixture sits on top of the oats.

Be sure to stir it in just before adding the topping to best preserve the texture of the oats.

Plus, it’s perfect for a quick, on-the-go healthy breakfast.
