Cozy Gingerbread Protein Overnight Oats is a delicious and nutritious make-ahead breakfast combining rolled oats, protein powder, warm spices like ginger and cinnamon, and the rich sweetness of molasses. This easy, creamy recipe can be enjoyed cold or warmed up, topped with nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
  • Chopped nuts or dried fruit (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oats: In a mixing bowl or a mason jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, protein powder, molasses, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and maple syrup if using. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Add Greek Yogurt (Optional): For a creamier texture, fold in the Greek yogurt until evenly mixed into the oat mixture.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
  4. Serve: In the morning, stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency. Top with chopped nuts, dried fruit, or additional spices if desired. Serve cold or warm up in the microwave for a cozy breakfast.

Notes

  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or molasses according to your preference.
  • Protein powder type and flavor can be varied; vanilla or unflavored works best.
  • Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • For a vegan option, use non-dairy milk, plant-based yogurt, and ensure your protein powder is vegan.
