Carrot Cake Overnight Chia Oats…

*** If the video clip isn’t appearing, please click on the blog post’s title, and then you should see it. Oy, technology!

I’ve been experimenting with my Go-Pro camera filming food demo shorts for our spätzle business.

I made a video the other night and figured out what would improve my videos.

I will have to film the Feta Tomato Spätzle demo again to make it better. The real success was that my recipe was on point.

I’ll share it with you when I am ready to post it on our spätzle social media pages. I will be including the recipe like I’ve done for this short video.

With today’s video, the mise en place and the filming took about 25 minutes, whereas it normally takes less than 10 minutes.

All of the overnight chia oat recipes I have tried are delicious, filling, and satisfying.

The chia seeds add plenty of protein to last you until lunch. When I used to eat regular oatmeal I wanted to chew my legs off from hunger.

On second thought, that’s going a bit too far; maybe a finger or two.

Here is my very first food demo short.

Overnight Carrot Cake Chia Oats

Ingredients

1 carrot shredded

1 cup rolled oats

2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

2 pinches of kosher salt

1 tbsp maple syrup

4 tbsp raisins

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans 

1.5 cups milk

Additional pecans or walnuts

1/4 cup yogurt optional

Shred the carrot and divide it evenly among your serving jars or containers.

Add the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, nuts, nutmeg, pinch of salt, maple syrup, and raisins to each jar. Stir well so the ingredients are mixed.

Pour in the milk, dividing it equally among the jars. Stir or shake the jar thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

Cover the jars and place them in the fridge to set overnight.

Before serving, give the oats a stir. Top with pecans or walnuts, a dollop of yogurt, and, if you’d like, an extra sprinkle of shredded carrot for added crunch and flavor.

I topped mine with 3 crushed Trader Joes’s Praline Pecans in each jar.

Makes 2 servings

I hope you enjoyed my demo short. I’m tickled pink that I have been able to film and edit videos all by myself.

This my friends is a BFD (Big fucking deal) since I am not a techie at all.

I wrote this post and recipe on my iPhone so the recipe isn’t as fancy as when I write on my MacBook.

I will go back when I have a second and jazz it up a little.

Have a great night, guys. Thanks for watching! ☺️
