# How To Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, combine the oats, milk, yogurt, grated carrots, sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
02 - Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans, raisins, and shredded coconut until incorporated throughout the mixture.
03 - Cover container tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. Add a splash of additional milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.
05 - Divide mixture evenly between two bowls or jars. Top with extra grated carrot, yogurt, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup as desired.
06 - Serve chilled and enjoy immediately.
