OVERNIGHT CARAMEL GINGERBREAD OATS

Overnight Caramel Gingerbread Oats image

Using a high-protein drink like Premier Protein® Salted Caramel and gingerbread morphs this regular overnight oats into the flavors of fall. I find adding the spices overnight dilutes the flavors, so I suggest waiting to add most of the spices before serving.

Tips for Gingerbread Overnight Oats:

Use rolled oats for a heartier texture, or quick-cooking oats for a softer texture.

Adjust the amount of milk or yogurt to achieve the desired consistency.

Feel free to add more or less sweetener, depending on your taste preferences.

For a richer flavor, use pure maple syrup or honey instead of sugar.

Add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.

Garnish with fresh gingerbread cookies, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

If you don't have gingerbread spice, you can substitute a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
