Description
Cookie Dough Overnight Oats taste just like eating raw cookie dough for breakfast — creamy peanut butter, vanilla, brown sugar, and mini chocolate chips stirred into thick rolled oats. A healthy, no-cook make-ahead breakfast that feels like pure dessert.
Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (or almond/cashew butter)
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional, enhances cookie dough flavor)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Instructions
1. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
2. In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the peanut butter mixture to the oats along with the almond milk. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
5. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
6. In the morning, stir well. Add a splash of milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
7. Top with extra mini chocolate chips and enjoy straight from the jar.
Notes
Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
The almond extract is optional but really elevates the classic cookie dough flavor — highly recommended!
Swap peanut butter for cashew or almond butter for a more neutral taste.
Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder for an extra protein boost.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days — great for weekly meal prep.
For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and vegan chocolate chips.
For extra cookie dough vibes, roll a few small bites of oat mixture into balls and refrigerate alongside the jar as toppings.
