These carrot cake overnight oats are truly a breakfast treat. Not only are they packed with whole grains and fiber, but they taste just like carrot cake thanks to shredded carrots, cinnamon and allspice.

I can’t tell you how much my baby Gus loves these oats! He gobbles them up (sometimes with just his hands 😂) and always has seconds. They taste so much like dessert he doesn’t even know this is a healthy breakfast.

A full serving of veggies at breakfast? SURE WHY NOT! These carrot cake overnight oats will give you just that plus all of the delicious flavors of carrot cake!

“I was looking for some new overnight oat ideas and this one is so good, will definitely become a regular recipe! I don’t like super sweet things in the morning so I actually omitted the maple syrup altogether, and found it was still enough with the vanilla and spices. Served it with a vegan vanilla coconut yoghurt and topped with walnuts and pecans 🙂– Jay

I followed the recipe (but included 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, and only half of the maple syrup).

Absolutely incredible! Will be a breakfast staple ๐Ÿ™‚

It was easy and yummy but a nut much in the sweet side. It felt good eating something healthy and it was filling too I think. Next time Iโ€™ll make with less maple syrup if I even use it at all.

Carrot cake is a strange name for a dish, and I’ve never had anything like it.
