Gingerbread Overnight Oats

This Gingerbread Overnight Oats recipe is made with molasses, cinnamon, chia seeds, and Biscoff cookies for an extra fun crunch.

this !

Are you on a crash diet, juice cleanse, or some other deprivation diet that leaves you hungry all the time? Stop. Just stop. Anything that you can’t sustain for a week isn’t going to create any change. The only way to get healthier long term is to make lifestyle changes that are sustainable f o r e v e r. Making healthy food seem a little indulgent is one of those tricks to satisfy both your hunger and nutrition needs, and the pleasure centers of the brain. This gingerbread overnight oats is an easy make-ahead breakfast option – a perfect welcome to a busy new year!

Gingerbread Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are an easy and satisfying way to start the day with just a few minutes prep the night before. They are one of my most filling breakfast rotations – the milk, yogurt, oats, and chia bring both fiber and protein for a lasting breakfast. 

Just add your dry ingredients to a jar or bowl (oats + spices +  chia seeds + pinch of salt) to start.

Add the milk (and yogurt if you are using it), any sweetener (I went with molasses in this case), then stir, stir, stir. Store overnight or for at least a few hours in the fridge. Then, the next morning, add the toppings. More cinnamon, a drizzle of molasses, or – to make it even MORE gingerbread-y and to make you think you are eating a decadent dessert – a few crumbled Biscoff cookies. 

There’s a slightly melty texture of the cookie dissolving in the milk that is so good in the first few bites. You can warm up the oats a bit in the morning if you are living in negative degrees at the moment! 

Enjoy!

    This looks so good!! I **love** overnight oats. The doughy texture is perfect, and the addition of Biscoff is so awesome. I completely agree with you in regards to not restricting or causing feelings of deprivation. Make the better-for-you-choice actually desirable. 🙂

    Do you like your overnight oats warm hot or cold?

    Kinda wish they sold biscoff in small little two-4 serving size jars! I can’t have a whole jar of that in the house. Every time I walk in the kitchen I’d grab a spoonful. Quite possibly my biggest weakness! Lol

        I’ve seen Nutella in tiny 1-2tablespoon size jars. They’re adorable lol but Nutella isn’t my thing… biscoff on the other hand….

          Yes you’re right. Biscoff needs to get on that!

    Hi Kath -I have to say, your Overnight Oats have been a breakfast game changer for me so THANK YOU so much. Right now I’m loving them with cinnamon stirred in, topped with Sumo mandarin oranges and slivered almonds. Thinking of adding pineapple and a teensy bit of shredded coconut for a tropical flair. 🙂 I just love all the different combinations you can play with – keeps it interesting and me out of a breakfast rut which I hate!! I definitely want to try this yummy gingerbread version…though I worry about myself and a sleeve of Biscoff in the house! I’ll have to try that version after a Delta flight maybe – when I’m restricted to one of those small packages they give you! 😛

    Cheers!

    Definitely going to try these! Lately we’ve been grating apple into overnight oats and then stirring cinnamon in. My children love this combo but I have a feeling they’ll *really* love the ginger biscuit flavour. Thanks Kath x
