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
Step 1: Prepare the Oats
• Combine Ingredients: 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 ingredients are combined.
Step 2: Add Greek Yogurt (Optional)
• Stir in Yogurt: If you prefer a creamier texture, fold in the Greek yogurt until well mixed.
Step 3: Refrigerate
• Chill: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
Step 4: Serve
• Stir and Top: 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. Top with chopped nuts, dried fruit, or additional spices if desired.
• Enjoy: Serve cold or warm up in the microwave for a cozy breakfast!
