Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons nut butter (e.g., almond or peanut) You can use sun butter or tahini for a nut-free version.
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey Adjust sweetness to your preference.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips Feel free to add more for extra sweetness.
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, nut butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are nicely combined.
  2. Stir in the mini chocolate chips and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors and replicate the cookie dough experience.
  3. Pour the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container for easy grab-and-go convenience.
  4. Cover the container and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) so the oats can absorb the liquid and soften.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats, and add any additional toppings you like before enjoying.

Notes

Your Cookie Dough Overnight Oats can last up to 5 days in the refrigerator, making them perfect for meal prep. To enjoy warm, microwave for 20-30 seconds after removing the lid.
