Storage: If you're not adding any toppings to the recipe, I like to store in one big container and just portion out a bowl every morning. If you want to add in toppings, it's better to store these in a small jar or individual-sized storage container. This also makes it much easier to grab on the go! Alternatively, you can divide the carrot cake overnight oat mixture between several smaller jars and store individually. 

Make it sugar free: leave out the maple syrup. It will still taste good, just a little less sweet! You can always add more raisins for natural sweetness.

For best results, let the oats sit (covered) overnight. If you're in a rush, 2-4 hours in the refrigerator will also do the trick.

For ultra creamy overnight oats, we'd recommend using oat or coconut milk. Soy, cashew or almond would all work well too.

Chia seeds: These are technically optional, but they help the overnight oats thicken up and add a bit more nutritional density.
