Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)

For Serving

  • Gingerbread man cookie

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or mason jar, add the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey if using. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Ensure all the spices and molasses are well incorporated with the oats and liquids. This will help the flavors meld overnight.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
  4. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Serve chilled topped with a gingerbread man cookie on the side for a festive touch.

Notes

  • Use almond milk or any preferred milk alternative to keep the recipe dairy-free if desired.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to your taste.
  • For a crunchier texture, add nuts or seeds just before serving.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to prepare multiple servings at once.
