Cinnamon & Spice Overnight Oats

PREP 10 min

Description

Oats are a meal-prep powerhouse. Paired with pumpkin seeds and pecans, this creamy, spiced oatmeal is a nourishing and easy meal-prep option, packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Warming cinnamon and ginger enhance flavor and digestion, and a touch of maple or agave syrup adds natural sweetness. Enjoy it as is or top with fresh fruit for extra brightness.

NOTE

Equipment needed: Five wide-mouth pint jars.

Ingredients

5 servings MAKES

2½ cups (200 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
5 Tbsp (40 g) pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
5 Tbsp (40 g) chopped pecans
5 cups (1.2 L) unsweetened plant-based milk
2½ tsp maple syrup or agave syrup
1/2 to 1 tsp salt
½ to 1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 to 1 tsp ground ginger
Fresh fruit (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line up 5 wide-mouth pint jars. In each jar, combine 1/2 cup (40 g) of oats, 1 Tbsp (8 g) pumpkin seeds, 1 Tbsp (8 g) pecans, 1 cup (240 ml) plant-based milk, 1/2 tsp maple syrup, 1 pinch of salt, 1 pinch of cinnamon, and 1 pinch of ginger.
Step 2

Stir the ingredients in each jar. Close the jars tightly with lids. Put the airtight jars in the refrigerator at least overnight before eating and for up to 5 days.
Step 3

To serve, top with fresh fruit. Note: This recipe takes well to variations. Any seed or nut will do. Just be sure that you use a total of a generous 1/2 cup. I also love the combination of walnuts and flaxseed.
