Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or a bowl, mix together the rolled oats, eggnog, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, then place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture soak and meld overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours, so the oats soften and absorb the liquid and flavors.
  3. Stir and Adjust Consistency: The next morning, remove the oats from the fridge and give them a good stir. Add a splash more eggnog or milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  4. Serve: Serve the oats cold directly from the fridge or gently warm them up if desired. Top with an extra sprinkle of nutmeg for garnish and added aroma.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute eggnog and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
  • You can prepare multiple servings in advance for a quick grab-and-go breakfast during the week.
  • Adjust spices according to your preference, adding more cinnamon or nutmeg as desired.
  • Adding a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruits can boost texture and flavor.
