Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)
• 2 tbsp Crosby’s Maple + Molasses
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prepare the base: In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple-molasses syrup, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
2. Add chia seeds (optional): If you’re using chia seeds, stir them in now. They will help thicken the oats and add a little extra texture and fiber.
3. Adjust the consistency: If the mixture seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to adjust to your desired consistency. Stir again.
4. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl or mason 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.
5. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. If you like, add extra toppings such as crushed walnuts, dried cranberries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
