40 g (½ cups) rolled oats, subs note 1
30 g (2 tablespoon) chia seeds,
30 g Greek yogurt, subs note 2
250 ml (1 cups) milk, subs note 2
8 g (2 teaspoon) ground cinnamon, adjust to preferences

Instructions

Mix rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves in a jar or bowl to evenly distribute the spices.
Add milk, molasses, and brown sugar, and stir until fully combined and the spices are well mixed.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to let the oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken.
Stir in the morning, adjusting with a splash of milk if needed. Serve cold or warm in the microwave, and top with yoghurt, fresh fruit, jam, or cookies for a festive touch.

Substitutions - any dairy-free option. Nutrition information based off cow's milk and low-fat Greek yogurt.

Storing
