Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg (if using), and ⅛ teaspoon of salt. Whisk these ingredients together for about 30 seconds until they are well mixed.
  2. Pour in 1 cup of oat milk and add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of vegan cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, and 1 cup of peeled and grated carrots to the bowl. Gently fold these wet ingredients into the dry mixture until you achieve a thick, consistent batter.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly between two glass jars or airtight containers, packing gently to minimize air pockets. Seal the jars tightly with their lids.
  4. Place the sealed jars in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, take the jars out of the fridge, stir, and add your favorite toppings like plant-based yogurt, crushed pecans, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Serve them cold.
