Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½–¾ cup milk (any kind)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • ¼–½ cup finely grated carrots
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
    In a bowl or jar, combine oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    Quick tip: Stir well so spices don’t clump later.
  2. Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
    Pour in milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla.
    Stir until everything looks evenly combined.
  3. Step 3: Fold in the Carrots
    Add your grated carrots and mix again.
    If they’re extra juicy, you can lightly squeeze them—but it’s not mandatory.
  4. Step 4: Transfer & Chill
    Pour into a jar or container.
    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours—but overnight (8–12 hours) is where the magic happens.
  5. Step 5: Stir & Adjust Before Serving
    In the morning, give it a stir.
    Too thick? Add a splash of milk.
    Too thin? A little yogurt fixes it fast.
