Ingredients and Substitutions

Grated Carrots – There’s no carrot cake without carrots. Old-fashioned Rolled Oats or quick oats – both options work well, but old-fashioned oats contain more fiber, and it’s more fulfilling. It also adds more texture to the recipe. Chia Seeds – this boosts the plant-based protein of the overnight oats and also makes the texture firmer. Unsweetened Almond Milk or any non-dairy milk you love like coconut milk or oat milk. Yogurt Of Choice – feel free to use your favorite kind of yogurt. We love either coconut yogurt or soy Greek yogurt. Raisins – You can also use dried cranberries. Walnuts – Or pecan nuts. Vanilla Extract – for flavor. Cinnamon – nutmeg, or pumpkin spices. Sweetener – we love maple syrup, coconut nectar, or rice syrup. Sugar-free syrup or stevia drops work as well to adjust the sweetness.
