Total Time4 hours 5 minutes

Equipment

  • 16 oz mason jar (or something similar)
  • grater
  • measuring cup + spoons

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • cup vanilla plant-based milk
  • 1 carrot grated (about ¼ cup)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (sub cashew butter or granola butter)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½-1 teaspoon cinnamon*
  • pinch sea salt

Toppings

  • chopped pecans, raisins, and shredded coconut (see blog post above for more options)

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a jar and stir well. Place the cover on and shake well. Place in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  • Remove from fridge, stir well, and top with shredded coconut, raisins, and chopped pecans.
    For vanilla yogurt layers (optional): add a few scoops of overnight oats to a bowl, then a few scoops of vanilla yogurt, followed by more oats. Top as described above and enjoy!
    Alternatively, add a few scoops of yogurt directly to the top of the oats, then top as desired.

Notes

*I use ½ a teaspoon + a dash more, then top with additional cinnamon right before eating. Adjust based on your love for cinnamon. 
My favorite vegan vanilla yogurt options; 
Do NOT store overnight oats with vanilla yogurt, assemble just before eating for best results.
