Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash, peel, and finely grate the carrots. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats and chia seeds.
- Add the coconut milk and vanilla extract to the bowl with the oats and chia seeds. Stir well to combine.
- Stir in the grated carrots, cinnamon, ginger, and a dash of salt. Ensure all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Mash the banana using a fork until smooth. Add it to the porridge mixture and stir thoroughly.
- Stir in the roughly chopped walnuts and dried coconut meat.
- Give the mixture one final stir to make sure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to a container with a lid. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- In the morning, give the porridge a good stir. If it is too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve chilled. You can top it with additional chopped walnuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or some fresh fruit if desired.
- Your Carrot Cake Overnight Porridge is ready to enjoy! It makes for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast or snack.
Tips:
- Grate the carrots finely to ensure they mix well with the other ingredients and soften sufficiently overnight.
- Use a ripe banana for added natural sweetness, or adjust the amount of banana to suit your taste preference.
- You can substitute coconut milk with any other type of milk or milk alternative if you prefer a different flavor or need a lower-fat option.
- Add a bit of freshly grated nutmeg for an extra layer of flavor that complements the cinnamon and ginger.
- Store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
- If you find the porridge too thick after soaking, simply stir in a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with additional walnuts, coconut flakes, or even a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra flavor and texture.
