Description

These cookie dough overnight oats are a creamy, high-protein breakfast that tastes just like your favorite cookie dough, but with wholesome ingredients. Perfect for meal prep, this easy recipe is satisfying, nutritious, and packed with chocolatey goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (50g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon (16g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (20g) mini chocolate chips
  • 1 scoop (25g) vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients and have them ready.
  2. In a medium bowl or directly in your jar, stir together milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, nut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add oats, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top.
  5. Spoon the mixture into a 12-16 oz jar or container. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top. Seal with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with extra chocolate chips, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of nut butter if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

For vegan oats, use plant-based milk, dairy-free yogurt, and vegan chocolate chips. Adjust sweetness to taste. If oats are too thick in the morning, add a splash of milk. For meal prep, double or triple the recipe and portion into jars. Add-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or cinnamon can be used for variety.
