Carrot Cake Overnight Oatmeal
So easy and so delicious!
You can make this at night before going to bed and have a full breakfast waiting for you in the morning, and for the next day, too!
Plus, it lets you get a full serving of veggies at breakfast, without even realizing it. The trick is to grate the carrots very finely so they incorporate into the mixture.
The recipe calls for raisins but feel free to mix up the fruit. Dried cranberries or blueberries, anything you like. Dried or fresh.
