Description

A cozy breakfast of creamy oats infused with ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, perfect for holiday mornings.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Toppings (e.g., nuts, dried fruit, or fresh fruit)


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, protein powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, molasses, and maple syrup.
  2. Stir well to ensure everything is nicely mixed.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a jar or container with a lid, sealing it tightly.
  4. Refrigerate overnight, or let it sit for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to absorb the moisture.
  5. In the morning, give the oats a good stir and mix in Greek yogurt if you desire an extra creamy texture.
  6. Top with your favorite nuts, dried fruit, or fresh fruit just before serving.

Notes

For best texture, use rolled oats rather than instant oats. Adjust spices to your taste.
