Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats Old-fashioned oats are best for texture
  • 1 scoop Gingerbread Protein Powder whey or plant-based
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Gingerbread Spice Blend or 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp cloves, pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Molasses optional, for deeper gingerbread flavor
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or your preferred milk
  • 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt or plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free option
  • Sweetener to taste (maple syrup, honey, or stevia – start with 1 teaspoon)
Optional toppings
  • sprinkle of cinnamon
  • chopped pecans
  • drizzle of extra molasses
  • dollop of whipped cream for a treat!

Equipment

  • Medium-sized jar or airtight container

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, gingerbread protein powder, chia seeds, and gingerbread spice blend. If you're using it, add the molasses now as well. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the protein powder and spices are evenly distributed. This step is crucial for a smooth flavor throughout your overnight oats.

  2. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and add the Greek yogurt. If you're adding a sweetener, stir it in now. Give everything a good stir until all ingredients are well combined and there are no dry clumps of oats or protein powder remaining. Make sure the chia seeds are also submerged in liquid to begin their gelling process.

  3. Securely fasten the lid on your jar or container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This allows the oats to soften, the chia seeds to thicken the mixture, and all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  4. In the morning, give your Gingerbread Protein Overnight Oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can stir in a splash more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy this festive and filling breakfast!

Notes

Your delicious Gingerbread Protein Overnight Oats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The oats will continue to soften and thicken over time, so if you find it too thick on subsequent days, simply stir in a tablespoon or two of milk until you achieve your preferred consistency. Freezing is not recommended for overnight oats, as the texture can become compromised upon thawing. For busy mornings, simply prepare a few jars at the beginning of the week, and breakfast will be ready to grab and go!
