These ingredients are super easy to find! You’ll need a gingerbread spice mix, which you can make yourself with my recipe, or you can buy pre-made! Gingerbread spice mix is normally available from October to December, but it’s super easy to make any time of year! Aside from this, you’ll need some rolled oats, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract and some Greek yogurt! For some extra cuteness, you can add a mini gingerbread man on top, too!!

- Mini Gingerbread Men (optional)
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
We LOVE when recipes don’t require a lot of equipment and this one of them! You can make them directly in the container that you are eating it out of and aside from that, just a some measuring cups and spoons to ensure everything is measured and also possibly a spoon to just mix everything together!
Here are some of my Amazon kitchen favs!
CAN I SUBSTITUTE/ADD ANYTHING OUT?

WHAT DOES GINGERBREAD OVERNIGHT OATS TASTE LIKE?
Gingerbread Overnight Oats taste like a cozy gingerbread cookie turned into a creamy, wholesome breakfast. 🎄✨ They’re sweet, warmly spiced, and super comforting! The cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves blend into the oats as they soak, giving every bite that classic holiday flavour. The texture is thick and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness, making it feel indulgent but still nourishing. It’s like waking up to holiday magic in a jar!
HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP FOR?
Gingerbread Overnight Oats typically last in the fridge for about 3–5 days in an airtight container or sealed jar. I highly recommend to not freeze this as the oats can turn mushy as it defrosts since the ice will create more liquid! The texture will definitely not be the same. For best flavor and texture, try pre-making these and consuming them within the first 2–3 days. it is so easy to meal prep so don’t worry about having to make them again!
INSPIRATIONS FOR THIS RECIPE?
I love all things gingerbread, just like I like all things pumpkin spice, so when I made my own batch of gingerbread spice mix, my brain was bursting with ideas! I loved making my Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats and knew I NEEDED to make a gingerbread version, and I absolutely love it!!
