Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats not instant
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk of choice dairy or non-dairy like almond, soy, or oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon almond flour optional, for that cookie dough texture
  • pinch salt

Equipment

  • Jar, bowl, or airtight container

Method
 

  1. In a jar, bowl, or airtight container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and almond flour (if using). Stir them together to ensure they are well distributed. The chia seeds will help thicken the oats overnight, while the almond flour mimics that classic cookie dough texture.

  2. Pour in your milk of choice. Add the sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, honey, or agave) and the vanilla extract. These liquids will hydrate the oats and chia seeds, creating a creamy base.

  3. Stir everything together vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined and there are no dry clumps of oats or chia seeds. Make sure the sweetener is dissolved.
  4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and add a pinch of salt. This is what truly elevates these into cookie dough overnight oats, providing those irresistible chocolatey bursts. Be careful not to overmix at this stage if you want distinct chocolate chips.

  5. Seal your container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight (8-12 hours). This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating the perfect overnight oats consistency.
  6. In the morning, check the consistency of your overnight oats. If they are too thick for your liking, stir in a splash more milk until you reach your desired creaminess.

  7. Your cookie dough overnight oats are ready! You can eat them cold directly from the fridge. For an extra touch, top with more chocolate chips, a drizzle of nut butter, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
