Directions
In a glass container, mix together the milk, oats, yogurt, brown sugar, flaxseed meal, molasses, vanilla, and all the spices—cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.

When you’re ready to eat, sprinkle some raisins and walnuts on top for a little extra texture and sweetness. Enjoy!
How To Serve This Dish
Top with fresh fruit like sliced apples or pears for added freshness. A drizzle of maple syrup or a spoonful of nut butter can add extra richness. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds for a nice crunch.
Leftover Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Give it a good stir before eating and add a splash of milk if it seems too thick. This makes for an easy grab-and-go meal all week long.
