Description
Cookie Dough Overnight Oats are a delightful and healthy way to start your morning with a flavor that feels indulgent but is packed with nutritious ingredients. This easy, no-cook breakfast combines the best of both worlds: a sweet cookie dough flavor and the creamy texture of oats.
Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and mini chocolate chips.
- Add the milk, Greek yogurt (if using), maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and almond or peanut butter.
- Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined. Ensure that the oats and chia seeds are fully submerged in the liquid.
- Transfer the mixture to a mason jar or any airtight container.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) for the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if the consistency is too thick. Enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Notes
- Can be easily doubled or tripled to prepare multiple servings for the week.
- If in a rush, 4 hours in the fridge is sufficient, but overnight is preferred for a creamier texture.
- For variations, try adding fresh fruit, different nut butters, or spices like cinnamon.
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir before eating and add milk if it thickens too much.
- This recipe is no-cook, just a quick mix and refrigerate!
