Thank you so much!!
Overnight oats are my favorite! Do you have a recommended substitute for pineapples?
I used pineapples because some traditional carrot cake recipes call for it and I think it adds it a little something. You can omit them completely and add some freshly squeezed orange juice for added zest. or a good substitute could be bananas or maybe mangoes too if you want it chunkier.
Looks very yummy and healthy too with oats added to this. I like oats in every and any form so for sure would love to try this recipe.
