Topping Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt Can substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
- 2 tbsp white chocolate chips
- 1.5 tbsp cream cheese Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother blending.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl or jar, combine the certified gluten free oats, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, shredded carrots, pecans, and raisins. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to allow the oats to soak and soften.
Making Ganache
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the white chocolate chips until melted.
- Mix the melted white chocolate into the Greek yogurt and room temperature cream cheese. Whisk thoroughly to create a smooth ganache.
Assembly
- Remove the soaked oats from the refrigerator and pour the cream cheese ganache evenly over the top.
- Cover and return to the refrigerator overnight to allow flavors to meld and ganache to set.
- In the morning, add additional shredded carrots and chopped pecans on top for garnish before serving.
Notes
For the best texture, add the ganache right before serving. You can store the oats in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freezing the mixture without ganache is possible; thaw it in the fridge the night before consumption.
