Gingerbread Overnight Oats

Everything you love about a gingerbread biscuit, in a jar. Black treacle (or molasses) gives it that deep, slightly smoky sweetness, while ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg bring the warmth. It’s like Christmas morning, any time of year.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 50g rolled oats
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• A pinch of nutmeg
• 1 tsp black treacle or molasses
• 150ml milk of choice
• 1 tbsp chopped pecans

Method:

1. Mix everything except the pecans. Stir well—the treacle takes a bit of work to incorporate.
2. Refrigerate overnight. Top with pecans in the morning.

Why it’s gut-friendly: Ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg are all anti-inflammatory and aid digestion. Black treacle contains some minerals like iron. Oats and chia are prebiotic.
