Gingerbread Overnight Oats

Gingerbread overnight oats

Overnight oats are one of the easiest breakfasts to cook, for after some minimal prep the night before, all you need to do the next morning is heat it up. But what about a Christmas-inspired overnight oats recipe?

This holiday-inspired gingerbread overnight oats recipe uses rolled oats as the base with the spices ginger, cinnamon and cloves to deliver that idyllic Christmas flavor. Then maple syrup, molasses and almond milk give enough sweetness to complete the breakfast dish. It also made our list of easy breakfast ideas.

The recipe also features gut, skin and joint-supporting collagen, courtesy of Multi Collagen Protein. It blends seamlessly into the recipe without any aftertaste.

How to make gingerbread overnight oats

The night before, add all the ingredients (almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, Multi Collagen Protein, chia seeds, gluten-free oats, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and sea salt) in a large bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. 

Scrap into a mason jar or an air-tight container with a lid and store for at least four hours in the refrigerator, or ideally overnight. 

The next morning, top with nuts if desired. Pecans or walnuts work best.

You can store these overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Still in the Christmas mood? Make up our Christmas sugar cookies or Pfeffernüsse cookies to truly make a household squeal with delight later in the day.
