Carrot cake Overnight Refrigerator oatmeal Recipe
This carrot cake overnight oatmeal recipe doesn't require any cooking

This carrot cake overnight oatmeal recipe is a delicious way to start your morning!

Carrot Cake Overnight Oatmeal- This Carrot Cake Overnight Oatmeal recipe is a tasty and easy way to begin your day. It's also dairy-free and gluten-free!While I love the taste of good homemade carrot cake and count it among my very favorite of desserts, the flour, milk, and sugar do not like my waistline very much. Not willing to give up my favorite flavors but looking for a healthier way to enjoy it, I started looking for ways to incorporate the ingredients in other recipes. Overnight oatmeal is an easy and tasty way to begin your morning and the mild flavor of the oats lends itself well to adding your own flavors and textures.

Overnight oatmeal was the perfect base for my new favorite Carrot Cake Overnight Oatmeal. Even the kids gobble this up and feel like I have given them dessert for breakfast (one has even requested some for dessert after supper). Dairy-free, gluten-free, and free of processed sugar, the kids and I both can indulge in a breakfast treat that is healthy and light. Cold oatmeal is also a great option for us here in Florida where we wake up temps in the upper 80’s during the summer!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
