  2. Steam the carrot, courgette and peas until tender. Drain the veg.
  3. Beat the eggs and stir in the veg and feta. Pour into the 6 holes. Bake for 15 minutes until the eggs are set. Leave for a minute or two, then use a knife to carefully remove the ‘muffins’.

Easy Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

These carrot cake overnight oats are your new busy morning saviour!

Prep Time 5 minutes        Chilling Time 4 hours            Total Time 4 hours 5 minutes

Servings
1 serving
Ingredients
  • 50 g (1/2 cup) oats
  • 1 small / half a larger carrot (peeled & grated)
  • 1-2 tsp honey / maple syrup
  • 1 heaped tbsp raisins
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 175 ml (3/4 cup) milk of choice

To Serve
  • 4 walnut halves (broken into smaller pieces)
  • 1 tbsp yoghurt (optional)
Instructions
  1. The day before serving add the oats, grated carrot, honey/maple syrup, raisins, cinnamon, chia seeds and milk into Tupperware container or jar and give everything a good mix/shake. Refrigerate overnight.
  2. In the morning remove the oats from the fridge, give them a stir before topping with the walnuts, yoghurt and a little more honey/maple syrup if desired. Serve.
Recipe NotesI prefer these carrot cake overnight oats cold but on super chilly mornings you can also serve them warm. Just remove the container lid and pop into the microwave for 2-3 minutes before topping with the walnuts and yoghurt.

These overnight oats are best served the next day but keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Why not double/triple this recipe to keep you going for multiple mornings?!
Gluten-Free: Make sure that your oats are certified gluten-free.  

Vegan: Use maple syrup rather than honey and plant-based milk and yoghurt.
