Recipe: Overnight Carrot Cake Proats

Recipe: Overnight Carrot Cake Proats
September 14, 2022Recipes

 

This protein oats recipe features carrot cake ingredients that will have you thinking you’re enjoying dessert for breakfast! Sweet breakfast pairings appeal to many but can result in a bit more effort and creativity to incorporate protein or non-starchy veggies. This breakfast is an all-in-one plate method recipe featuring whole grain oats as the starch, protein powder, and carrots for a serving of veggies.

For a quick swap or additional recipe idea – you could swap in shredded zucchini with only 1 C almond milk for the carrots (for a zucchini bread vibe). Great for meal preppers and folks on the go, the protein and fiber in this quick, make-ahead recipe will keep you fueled throughout your morning.
