Carrot cake flavoured overnight oats

I was saying in a previous post about how I made the "huge discovery" of the ideal breakfast, prepared in advance and ready in the morning, the "overnight oats". This time I tried a recipe with "carrot cake" flavor and I don't have enough words to say how wonderful it turned out. The carrot gives the oat flakes a sweetness that surprised me again (as it surprised me in the carrot cake) and the combination with cinnamon and raisins is absolutely divine. 

Inspiration from here.

Ingredients (for a 500ml jar - perfect for 2 kids):
- 1/2 cup instant rolled oats;
- 1/2 cup of milk;
- 100 ml Greek yogurt;
- 2 Tbsp cream cheese / fresh cheese / ricotta;
- 1 tsp chia seeds;
- 2 small carrots, finely grated;
- 1 tsp cinnamon;
- a few raisins.

Method:
Gently mix all ingredients in a bowl, then place them into jars and close tightly with lids. Leave in the fridge overnight.

Enjoy!

Overnight Oats (carob, peanut butter and banana)

Since the beginning of summer we've spent our time mostly outside so, as I don't spend so much time in the kitchen, we eat simple and quick foods, like salads with cheese and a lot of fruits. I didn't have time to write on the blog lately, I don't know how the hours fly.
Even in the mornings we seem to be much more in a hurry than before, so I started looking for some breakfast ideas that I can prepare the night before. I discovered the "overnight oats", the rolled oats hydrated over night, with different ingredients (I couldn't believe the cool texture they get, similar to a pudding)
Plus, it just takes 3 minutes to prepare them in the evening and in the morning I don't have to worry about breakfast anymore. Î

Ingredients (for one 500ml jar - perfect for 2 kids):
- 1/2 cup instant rolled oats;
- 1/2 cup of milk;
- one 150 ml jar of Greek yogurt;
- 1 tsp chia seeds;
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract;
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter;
- 2 Tbsp carob powder;
- one banana, chopped.

Method:
Gently mix all ingredients in a bowl, then place them into jars and close tightly with lids. Leave in the fridge overnight.
They had a huge success with kids, so I plan on testing them in other combinations soon.
Enjoy!
