# Expert Hints:
01 -
- You get dessert for breakfast without any guilt or morning cooking time
- The spices and carrots create the perfect cozy start to busy mornings
02 -
- The oats will continue to soften the longer they sit so eight hours is perfect but twelve hours still works
- Grating the carrots on the finer side of your grater makes all the difference in texture
03 -
- Use wide mouth jars for easier stirring and serving
- Wait to add your final toppings until right before eating
