Overnight Oat and Carrot Cake
Breakfast with carrot cake? Yum! These overnight oats have a dessert-like flavour thanks to naturally sweet grated carrots and almond milk. The iconic carrot cake with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg are also included in this quick vegan breakfast bowl. The final texture will be determined by how finely the carrots are shredded. Smaller threads will melt into the melted oats, whereas coarsely sliced carrots will have a crunchier texture. The recipe serves two person, but it's simple to double. Don't forget the garnishes! They can contribute fibre and nutrients to your morning meal in addition to flavour.
