- 1 tbsp molasses
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium glass jar or container, add the milk, old fashioned rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, molasses, pure maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger.
- Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, ensuring the protein powder and spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Serve and Garnish: In the morning, stir the oats once, then garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and/or a small gingerbread cookie if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and vegan protein powder.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or molasses according to your taste.
- Chia seeds can be substituted with flaxseeds or omitted if desired, but they help thicken the oats.
- Protein powder type may vary the nutritional content; choose one that meets your dietary needs.
- This recipe can be prepared in larger batches by multiplying ingredients accordingly.
