Finding innovative ways to make breakfast always leads me to ideas on Pinterest. This is one such idea, overnight carrot cake oatmeal. It has all the ingredients that go into carrot cake.

This overnight carrot cake oatmeal has plump raisins, chopped nuts, aromatic spice powders like cinnamon, all spice. Of course it has oats and grated carrots and the special secret ingredient is chia seeds. Chia seeds add a nice touch and they enhance the consistency of the oatmeal. ... “Overnight Carrot Cake Oatmeal | Oats Recipes”
