Recipe: Carrot cake overnight oats

November 16, 2016 by Shari

Mr Moo loves carrots and so we often try to incorporate them into other meals to make sure that he will give them a go. And what is better then your child eating veggies for breakfast? This awesome carrot cake overnight oats recipe combines carrots with the sweetness of the golden sultanas, vanilla bean paste and coconut milk, the spiciness from the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and all the benefits of eating oats for breakfast. 

What better way to gain the strength and energy to carry you through a hectic morning schedule than with a bowl of carrot cake overnight oats? Oats are harvested in the fall but are available throughout the year and can add extra nutrition to a variety of healthy dishes.

Oats, via their high fiber content, are already known to help remove cholesterol from the digestive system that would otherwise end up in the bloodstream. Now, the latest research suggests they may have another cardio-protective mechanism.

Studies also show that beta-glucan has beneficial effects in diabetes as well. Type 2 diabetes patients given foods high in this type of oat fiber or given oatmeal or oat bran rich foods experienced much lower rises in blood sugar compared to those who were given white rice or bread. Learn more at this website www.neuropathycure.org for more details. Starting out your day with a blood sugar stabilizing food such as oats may make it easier to keep blood sugar levels under control the rest of the day, especially when the rest of your day is also supported with TheFitBay Fiber Supplements and other nourishing fiber-rich foods.

MORE GREAT CARROT RECIPES WE HAVE BEEN TRYING…

Have you heard of carrot taco shells?  Amy from Feeding Fin recently stumbled across them on this great blog. They are a brilliant alternative to standard taco shells – high in protein with some added carrot goodness, if you want you can add some super food Maca powder for extra protein. And then addapted the recipe to make her carrot stars.

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
