Grab a spoon and get ready for an easy and flavorful, no-cook oatmeal that tastes like cake. You heard me right, Carrot Cake Overnight Chia Oatmeal is a make-ahead stress-free morning meal to start your day off right.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

#Brunchweek is coming to a close and I am sharing my recipe for a delicious and easy overnight oatmeal. My morning routine can sometimes be hectic, and more often than not, I rush out the door without breakfast.

Whether it’s struggling to get the 4 year old dressed, finishing the lunchbox, or going through every option on the planet for her breakfast and she wants none of it. We’ve even had the ‘no, you can’t have pickles or chips for breakfast’ talk.

When I get back from the school drop off, smoothies are always a great option, but sometimes I want something a bit more filling. Overnight oatmeal definitely helps when I’m craving a something sweet.

I added dark brown sugar for sweetness and that rich molasses taste. You can also warm the oatmeal and top with vanilla yogurt and maple syrup for a breakfast with even more protein.

Whatever you do, don’t buy matchstick carrots for this recipe. The carrots need to be finely shredded to mix in correctly, so grating your own is best. I actually used a micro-plane to get the fine texture.

I hope you enjoy an easy weekday morning meal with Carrot Cake Overnight Chia Oatmeal and don’t forget to enter the #BrunchWeek giveaway!
