This Eggnog Overnight Oats recipe is a creamy, nutritious, and delicious twist on classic overnight oats, flavored with festive eggnog and warming spices. Perfect for a quick, make-ahead breakfast during the holiday season or any time you want a comforting yet wholesome start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats

  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup heaping rolled oats
  • ⅔ cup eggnog (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxmeal
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • 0–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, rolled oats, eggnog, chia seeds or flaxmeal, vanilla extract, salt, ground nutmeg, and honey or maple syrup if using. Ensure the mixture is well blended for even flavor and texture.
  2. Transfer to Jar: Spoon the combined mixture into a jar or airtight container with a tight-fitting lid. This jar will be used to store and serve the oats.
  3. Refrigerate: Close the jar tightly and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, absorbing the eggnog’s flavor and creating a creamy consistency.
  4. Serve: After refrigeration, give the oats a good stir and enjoy cold straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Optionally, garnish with extra nutmeg, a drizzle of honey, or your favorite toppings such as nuts or fruit.

Notes

  • Any type of eggnog works well, including dairy-free versions if you prefer a vegan or lactose-free option.
  • Eggnog is naturally sweet, so it’s best to taste the mixture before adding additional honey or maple syrup.
  • This recipe can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For gluten-free oats, ensure you use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
