If there’s one meal I could prepare ahead of time every day to save time in the kitchen, it would be overnight oats for breakfast, hands down. And if I really wanted to sneak in some extra nutrition, dare I say, even veggies, I’d choose these Pumpkin Spice Carrot Cake Overnight Oats! Yes, not only does the recipe have fresh grated carrots, but is packed with wholesome and nourishing plant-based ingredients.

Did I mention pumpkin spice and carrot cake… in one recipe?! The marriage of fragrant and spicy autumnal spices with fresh carrot, raisins, and real pumpkin is such an incredibly delicious combo! They’re meant for each other.

  • maple syrup
  • vanilla extract
  • old fashioned rolled oats

Tip: Make your own pumpkin SPICE blend at home

You’ll need pumpkin spice to make my Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal. But, if you don’t have any on hand, you can make a small batch of your own homemade blend super easily. In a mason jar, add the following spices and shake vigorously (with the lid on!) to combine:

  • 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1.5 tsp ground allspice
  • 1.5 tsp ground cloves
