Ingredients
-
½ cup old fashioned rolled oats

½ cup milk of choice

1 tablespoons 0% fat plain greek yogurt, plus more for serving
-
2 teaspoons maple syrup
-
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons grated carrots
Instructions
-
In a glass jar or airtight container, mix the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
-
Stir in the grated carrots, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
Give it a good stir before serving. Enjoy as-is or top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, nuts, raisins, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
Notes
I recommend finely grating fresh carrots yourself using the smaller holes on a box grater. You could also buy pre-shredded carrots and chop them up more finely.
For added protein, stir in a tablespoon of vanilla protein powder, and leave out the vanilla extract.
Refrigerate overnight oats in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
