Cookie Dough Overnight Oats
Description
This recipe mixes rolled oats with chia seeds and mini chocolate chips for texture, alongside protein powder and a pinch of salt to balance sweetness. Almond butter adds richness, while maple syrup and vanilla provide natural sweetness and aroma. Milk is stirred in to hydrate the oats and seeds, resulting in a creamy mixture after refrigeration.
Left to soak overnight, the oats soften while chia seeds thicken the blend, and chocolate chips remain somewhat intact. The resulting flavor and mouthfeel recall cookie dough without baking. Refrigeration preserves freshness and melds flavors.
This dish is portioned into jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks. It can be adapted with vegan ingredients like plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate chips. Quick or steel-cut oats are not recommended due to texture.

- 2 cups rolled oats

- 2 1/2 cups milk of choice
Instructions
- To a mixing bowl add the oats, chia seeds, chocolate chips, protein powder and salt. Mix well to combine.

Notes
