Carrot ‘Cake’ Overnight Oats

DF | NF | RSF | EF – can be GF
AGE APPROPRIATE:
8 months +
SERVES: 3 child servings

Yummy and most of all making your morning that much easier. This makes enough for 3 small child servings, so prep the night before and know breaky is done for a few days!
Overnight oats are so great because they are soaked and soured overnight in the yoghurt/milk – so the phytic acid is reduced making them much easier to digest and also the nutrients are more bioavailable.
