These Carrot Cake Overnight Oats are one of the easiest, tastiest and healthiest breakfasts around. It’s like eating dessert for breakfast!

Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

Hi ya friends! How was everyone’s weekend?? Did you spend it firming up your plans for Thanksgiving?? Are you good to go? I hope so!

There was all kinds of cooking and baking goin’ on in my kitchen over the weekend! We were taste testing Christmas cookies, sipping decadent Nutella Hot Cocoa, wearing fuzzy slippers, getting cozy under fluffy blankets in front of the fireplace and watching lots of awesome college football! It was my kind of weekend! If you missed my Simple Saturday recipe for Nutella Hot Cocoa, do yourself a favor and go grab it and treat yourself! It’s the simplest recipe ever and it’s creamy, dreamy and totally drool-worthy!

Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

You know my mo by now right? I post a sinfully delicious recipe one day and then we balance it out with something delicious, yet healthy the next. We all know that with anything in life, it’s all about balance. So today, I’m sharing one of my favorite quick and easy healthy breakfast options, Carrot Cake Overnight Oats. We’ll all be indulging later this week for Turkey Day, so I thought we may be in need of a nice, healthy breakfast to get us back on the right track.

Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

Have you guys tried overnight oats? It’s one of the easiest, tastiest and healthiest breakfasts around. Overnight oats are easier to digest than cooked oats. They’re versatile. They taste more like dessert than breakfast. And all the work is done overnight while you’re asleep. We all know how busy mornings can be, so whipping up a jar or two of these the night before will not only save you time, but this beauty of a breakfast will keep you satisfied longer!

Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

These Carrot Cake Overnight Oats have all the ingredients of your classic carrot cake. They’ve got shredded carrots, pineapple, toasted coconut, raisins, pecans and a touch of cinnamon. Just stir together with some rolled oats, a little milk and some smooth and creamy coconut Greek yogurt, place in a mason jar and pop it in the fridge. Couldn’t be easier! Just grab it and go guys! Hope you enjoy!

I hope you all have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving! I will be taking a few days off to spend time with family and friends. See you back at the BHK bright and early next Monday morning when we’ll be kicking off the beginning of the holiday baking season with a Christmas Cookie Exchange favorite!

    Sounds like you had a great weekend! I’ll have to plan one just like it ;) & then recover with these Oats. I recently experimented and made several varieties – carrot cake was by far my favorite. I’m sure I’ll love your version :)

    Yay for relaxing weekends!! I’m all about that! I love overnight oats and this is just BRILLIANT, Mary Ann! Carrot cake in overnight oat form? Any excuse to eat ‘cake’ right ;) ? I wish I had a big serving of that in front of me right now. Pinned, of course, and can’t wait to give this one a try. Hope you have a lovely, relaxing time with your family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!

    We’re big fans of overnight oats too. I lean towards making more hot oatmeal during these cold months, but Ryan still prefers the cold soaked oats. Such a fantastic idea to add pineapple, coconut, and carrots to turn it into a inspired carrot cake treat. Great to balance out that nutella hot chocolate. :) (which, btw, looks and sounds so so good!)

    Well your weekend sounded amazing!! I’m jealous, because Boy had to work all weekend… he’s a crazy work-aholic who reeeaaaaally need to take a chill pill if you ask me. ;) But I plan on making up for lost time with the holiday coming up, so at least there is that. Anyways, you are totally right about life – it’s all about balance! I am loving these overnight oats, Mary Ann!!! I mean decadent carrot cake in guilt free breakfast form?! GENIUS! You never cease to amaze me with your creativity friend!! Love it! Cheers, to a beautiful Thanksgiving!! <3

    What a cozy weekend and your overnight soaked oats look so delicious and healthy. In Switzerland oats soaked overnight with fresh fruit and yogurt are called Bircher Müsli and it is one of my favorite breakfasts.

    Very delicious! It’s truth, MarryAnn! I’m usually very lazy to cook and eat breakfast. But thank goodness, I can not deny the delicious dishes like this. Actually eating carrot is a little difficult for me, but when it made into cakes and combined with everything else in the recipe which are all I really like, especially the coconut, pineapple and cinnamon, it’s good. Thank you!

    I am loving this recipe. Overnight oats are wonderful and for whatever reason I seem to forget to make them. So easy and tasty, thanks for the reminder. BUT what intrigues me are the ingredients AND I’d love to see a Carrot Cake from you… This is going on my list to try. Pinned and thanks MaryAnn. Hope your Thanksgiving was one filled with good food, laughs and family.
