Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

| CARROT CAKE OVERNIGHT OATS |

Welcoming in spring with these carrot cake protein oats! Filled with all the flavours you love from the sweet to the spice, and a lemony cream cheese inspired "frosting." 

I don't remember the last time I didn't blend my oats before making overnight oats but I think the full oat adds some nice texture to this particular flavour. More cake like, maybe? Feel free to blend the oats before though if you prefer a smooth texture.

2/3 cup oats, I like sprouted 

2 scoops vanilla protein powder  (Use my affiliate code: EVANNRYAN to save $!)

1/2 cup shredded carrot 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon (1/2 the amount for Saigon cinnamon)

2 tbsp walnuts, chopped

2 tbsp cranberries, or sub chopped dates or raisins 

1 1/2 cups - 2 cups almond milk 

1/2 cup plain vegan yogurt

2 tsp lemon juice

2 tbsp vanilla protein powder (Use my affiliate code: EVANNRYAN to save $!)

 

Recipe:

1. To a mixing bowl add: oats, vanilla protein, shredded carrot, vanilla extract, cinnamon, walnuts, cranberries, and a pinch of salt. 

2. Add in 1 1/2 cups almond milk, and mix everything together really well. Depending on your protein powder you may need to add more almond milk for a thick but pourable consistency. Add 1-2 tbsp more milk at a time until reaching a thick, but easily pourable consistency. 

3. Pour the mixture into two separate meal prep bowls or containers.

4. Smooth the tops of the oat bowls, and set aside.

5. In a small bowl add yogurt, lemon juice and 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder. Whip together until super smooth.

6. Spoon the protein yogurt onto the oat bowls and smooth the tops.

7. Garnish the bowls with a few chunks of walnuts and cranberries if desired.

8. Seal and set the bowls in the fridge overnight to set.

9. Enjoy your cake for breakfast!
