- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2-3 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons molasses (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger

Topping
- 1 Tablespoon white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix Overnight Oats Ingredients: In a bowl or jars, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, almond butter, maple syrup, molasses (if using), cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Divide the mixture: Pour the oat mixture into individual jars or containers if not already combined in jars.

- Add Topping To Oats: Spoon the white chocolate and yogurt topping evenly over the oats in each jar or container. Smooth it out and sprinkle each one with the teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Secure lids on each jar or cover containers and place in the refrigerator overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, remove from the refrigerator and enjoy this flavorful, ready-to-eat gingerbread cookie-inspired breakfast.
