Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 small carrot grated
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch ground cloves
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated carrot (use as much as you like), chia seeds, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir well
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined. If you like a creamier oatmeal, blend in a blender for 30 seconds before spooning into jars
- Divide and Refrigerate: Spoon the mixture into two jars or airtight containers. Seal them and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You can add a splash more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Top with walnuts, extra raisins and shredded carrots, if desired. You can enjoy the oats chilled or warm
