All the deliciousness of carrot cake, in the form of a healthy muesli. This breakfast is quick, easy, vegan & gluten-free.
This carrot cake muesli recipe, if you can even call it a recipe… is so quick and easy and tastes incredible.
It’s like eating carrot cake batter, if that sounds as good to you as it does to me.
I think a lot of people think of muesli as a boring, tasteless health food thing but this version is a real treat.
Packed with comforting, fruity flavours and different textures. I’m obsessed with it right now.
As well as being a quick, instant muesli, you can also make this into bircher museli (or overnight oats.)
Simply mix all the ingredients together in a jar and leave in the fridge overnight. In the morning, you will have a softer, easier-to-digest mixture for breakfast!

Hi Aimee!
Wow, I can’t believe you have this recipe – I just have to comment. : )
My Grandmother’s boyfriend has been eating a version of this since for breakfast since I was 15, and he is now 94 – and only this last month moved into a retirement village!!
You have such a lovely blog Aimee, and I wish you all of the best for your move to Brighton.

What a great spin on carrot cake. So yummy yet so healthy. I agree with Natalie – I would love to put a dollop of frozen whipped topping on the top!

My somewhat sensitive stomach would want me to wait for the overnight version, but my carrot cake loving tastebuds would argue otherwise haha! I think this might be better than the actual cake. Plus it’s so healthy that I would not hesitate one bit at putting a big dollop of something whipped or frozen and creamy on top as the “frosting” :)
