Ingredients
  

  • Base Oats
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice almond, oat, or dairy
  • 2-3 tbsp Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt optional for creaminess
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup honey, or molasses
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds for thicker oats
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp chopped nuts
  • Serving Suggestions
  • Top with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup
  • Add nuts sliced pear, banana, or yogurt
  • Pair with:
  • Chamomile Tea with Lemon and Honey

  • Spiced Pear Smoothie

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Mason jar or airtight container
  • 1 Spoon
  • 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons

Method
 

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly so the spices coat the oats evenly and develop that deep gingerbread aroma.
  2. Add the liquids: Pour in the milk and stir until the oats are fully submerged. Add yogurt if using, this enhances creaminess and gives the oats a thick, pudding-like texture after chilling.
  3. Sweeten and flavor: Mix in maple syrup, honey, or molasses to achieve that warm holiday sweetness. Add vanilla extract if you want a more aromatic gingerbread flavor.
  4. Optional thickener: Add chia seeds for a thicker, spoonable consistency. They will expand overnight and help firm the oats naturally.
  5. Transfer to jars: Spoon the mixture evenly into two mason jars or airtight containers. Seal well to lock in freshness.
  6. Chill overnight: Refrigerate for at least 6 hours; ideally 12; allowing the oats to soften, spices to bloom, and flavors to meld into a rich, creamy breakfast.
  7. Serve: Enjoy straight from the fridge or warm for 20-30 seconds for a “baked gingerbread” effect. Add toppings like nuts, fruit, or yogurt. Pair with cozy sips like Chamomile Tea with Lemon and Honey or energizing drinks like Spiced Pear Smoothie.
