Our 12th yule calendar surprise is another recipe! Earlier, we have had a yule porridge recipe by Miss Lina. Here's another sweet take on the porridge: gingerbread overnight oats! I personally love overnight oats, as it is simple to make, and it makes the mornings easier when you have a breakfast ready waiting for you in the fridge. Here's a version with yule seasonings. You can see the full original recipe on the Healthy Nibbles site.

Gingerbread Overnight Oats

 

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
  
• 1/2 cup greek yogurt (a vegan variant would also work)
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• pinch of ground cloves
• 1/2 tablespoon molasses

 

Instructions

 

• In a bowl or jar, mix the oats, almond milk and yogurt together.
  
• Add the cinnamon, ginger, cloves and molasses and stir until everything is well mixed. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate overnight. This makes the oats soft and creamy!
  
• Serve overnight oats with fresh fruits, nuts, coconut and dried fruit, if you like. I like to add red apple slices myself! You might like to add some actual gingerbread biscuits to this too, like the picture suggests.
