Cozy Gingerbread Protein Overnight Oats Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 scoop vanilla or gingerbread protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added fiber)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon molasses (for that gingerbread flavor)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
- Dried cranberries or raisins
- Sliced banana or apple
- Yogurt (for creaminess)
- Extra cinnamon or ginger for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, protein powder, chia seeds (if using), ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, molasses, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and the oats are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, fresh fruit slices, or a dollop of yogurt.
- Serve cold or warm it up in the microwave for a cozy breakfast!
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding more molasses or a sweetener of your choice.
- Experiment with different toppings for variety.
