Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (I used Fairlife 2%)
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger

Toppings (optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Small gingerbread cookie

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium glass jar or container, add the milk, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, molasses, pure maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, and the flavors to meld.
  3. Serve and Garnish: After soaking, stir the oats once again. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and/or a small gingerbread cookie for an extra festive touch before serving.

Notes

  • The oats can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
  • Use your favorite milk or milk alternative to make it dairy-free or to suit your dietary preferences.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or molasses to taste.
  • For a thicker consistency, add more chia seeds or reduce the amount of milk slightly.
  • This recipe provides a protein-packed breakfast option, making it suitable as a meal replacement.
