Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

I hope all you moms had a great Mother’s Day yesterday! I had a very nice day with my two loves and Maddie got me flowers and framed a picture of herself for me and also gave me a photo album of her first 6 months. She’s so thoughtful like that!

I’m bringing you another overnight oats recipe today. After I made my Overnight Cinnamon Roll Oats last month, I have been on an overnight oatmeal kick ever since.

I started thinking about what dessert I would turn into overnight oats next and carrot cake came to mind! I love me a big ol’ slice of carrot cake complete with a ridiculous amount of cream cheese frosting, obvi. This recipe is pretty similar to the Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats with a few adjustments. And of course, if you are wanting to treat yourself, a dollop of cream cheese topping on top!

I wasn’t sure how grated carrots would really be in these oats at first, but it was all good! So you’ve got oats, Greek yogurt, and vegetables for breakfast. You’re welcome!
