Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

These carrot cake overnight oats taste like dessert but are balanced enough for breakfast or a high-protein snack.
Made with oats, chia seeds, grated carrot and protein powder, this recipe supports digestion, steady energy and satiety. The white chocolate yogurt “icing” adds a creamy layer that gives it that carrot cake feel without excess sugar.
It’s easy to prep ahead and perfect when you want something sweet without overdoing it.

Notes

Cooking Notes

• Stirring after 5–10 minutes is key for a thick, creamy texture instead of watery oats.
• Finely grating the carrot helps it blend into the oats and keeps the texture smooth.
• If oats are too thick after chilling, add a splash of almond milk and stir.
• If you add the yogurt topping before chilling, it is more difficult to spread, but how I prefer to do it.
