Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, freshly grated carrots, Greek yogurt, almond milk, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup. Stir the mixture vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until everything is well-blended and creamy.
  2. If you’d like a delightful crunch, fold in your choice of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans. Mix thoroughly for another minute.
  3. Using a measuring cup or spoon, divide the mixture evenly into individual jars or airtight containers. Seal each jar tightly with a lid.
  4. Place the sealed jars in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  5. The next morning, give the jars a quick stir, and if desired, top with extra grated carrots or nuts before enjoying.
