carrot cake overnight oats

For those of you with a sweet tooth or need a breakfast to grab and go, this is a perfect healthy breakfast that takes about 5 minutes to whip up the night before. Not only are they packed with whole grains and fibre, but they taste just like carrot cake thanks to the shredded carrot and cinnamon spice. These overnight oats are naturally sweetened with the banana and dates.
