Notes
Tips for success
- Use a roomy jar. I like to package the oats individually to allow plenty of room for the milk to blend with the oats and expand.
- Use old-fashioned oats. Instant oats will work in a pinch but do know that because they are cut smaller, they will turn to mush much quicker. If you use instant ones, reduce the soaking time.
- Check your gingerbread spice. Use a fresh bottle of spice or sub it for other fresh holiday spices like apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice mix.
