Meal prep junkies rejoice! If you’ve been looking for a breakfast that will keep you full from morning to lunch, but you can grab and go on your way out? Try these Carrot Cake Baked Oats. They are filled with warm spices, hearty oats, and shredded carrots, making breakfast time feel like a treat.
Breakfast time can be stressful no matter your age or work schedule. It’s often too easy to skip it all together, or grab a convenience bar on the way out of the door. But fear not, I’ve got a recipe for you. I love the convenience of baked oats . In fact, I make them in advance, wrap them in cling-film, and keep them in the freezer for when I miss my alarm, or spend too much time wasting time (which happens, a lot). I even like eating these on lazy mornings, warmed with a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Looking for more meal prep breakkie options? Try my other faves:
- Boiled eggs
- Skyr yogurt + chia seeds + berries

It’s no surprise I make a variation of these often. I have a number of baked oat recipes on my blog! I’ll never tire of these meal-prep breakfasts, like these Carrot Cake Baked Oats.
