Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats
- 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
- Optional: sprinkle of cinnamon or your favorite nuts
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, molasses, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey if using. Stir well to create a uniform mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight (at least 6-8 hours) to allow the oats to soak and absorb the flavors fully.
- Prepare to Serve: In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. If the mixture seems too thick, add a little more milk and stir to your desired consistency.
- Serve: Serve the oats cold or warm them gently if preferred. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or your favorite nuts, and garnish with a festive gingerbread man cookie for an extra special touch.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any dairy or plant-based milk of your choice.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to your taste.
- For a vegan version, ensure the yogurt and sweeteners are plant-based.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Optional toppings like nuts or fresh fruit can enhance texture and flavor.
