Place oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a jar or bowl.

Add the milk, carrots, raisins, and vanilla extract.

Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).

In the morning, top with garnishes.

Enjoy chilled or gently warmed.

Notes

Variations: Omit, increase, or decrease the maple syrup as desired.

If desired, add 1 scoop protein powder. With this addition, you may not need the maple syrup.

These oats are delicious served cold, but if you’re craving something
warm on a chilly morning, simply microwave (without the lid) for 2–3 minutes before adding your toppings.

Short on time during the week: Double or triple the recipe to have
breakfast ready for multiple mornings — meal prep made sweet and simple. Best enjoyed the next day, but they’ll keep fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Nut butter tip: Almond, cashew, or pecan butter adds a luxurious richness that pairs beautifully with the warm spices and carrot.

Try one of our beverages with your breakfast, such as: Healthy Chocolate Smoothie, Dalgona Coffee, Indian Masala Chai, or Brazilian Hot Chocolate.

Substitutions: Feel free to omit the nuts and nut butter. Consider toasted pumpkin seeds and seed butter instead.
