Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl or jar, combine certified gluten-free oats, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, shredded carrots, chopped pecans, and raisins. Stir the mixture thoroughly for about 1–2 minutes until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Cover your bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the Carrot Cake Overnight Oats to soak for at least 1 hour, but ideally overnight.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Then mix in Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese until fully combined.
  4. When you’re ready to serve, pour the cheesecake ganache generously over the top of the oats, and gently stir to incorporate if desired. Top with additional shredded carrots and chopped pecans.
