Ingredients

Scale

Oat Base

  • 1/2 cup certified gluten free oats
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp shredded carrots
  • 1 tbsp pecans (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp raisins
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt

Cream Cheese Ganache

  • 2 tbsp white chocolate chips
  • 1.5 tbsp cream cheese (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Combine oat ingredients: Add the oats, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, shredded carrots, chopped pecans, raisins, and Greek yogurt into a bowl or jar. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients well. Refrigerate this mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the oats to soak and soften.
  2. Prepare cream cheese ganache: Microwave the white chocolate chips in a small bowl until melted. Then, whisk the melted white chocolate together with the Greek yogurt and room temperature cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. This creates a creamy ganache to layer over the oats.
  3. Layer ganache over oats: Remove the oat mixture from the refrigerator and evenly pour the cream cheese ganache over the top. Return the jar or bowl to the fridge and allow it to set overnight for the best texture and flavor melding.
  4. Serve with toppings: In the morning, add fresh shredded carrot and additional chopped pecans on top for extra crunch and freshness. The overnight oats are ready to grab and go for a quick, nourishing breakfast.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten free oats to ensure the recipe suits gluten-sensitive diets.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute Greek yogurt and cream cheese with plant-based varieties.
  • Microwave white chocolate carefully in short intervals to avoid burning.
  • Letting the oats set overnight improves texture and flavor infusion.
  • Optional: add a dash of maple syrup or honey if extra sweetness is desired.
