Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins and Toppings
- 2–3 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos), crushed
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Stir in the Wet Ingredients: Add the almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and all ingredients are fully combined.
- Fold in Crushed Cookies: Gently fold in 1–2 of the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, keeping some pieces aside for topping later. Be careful not to crush them too much for added texture.
- Cover and Chill: Seal the jar or cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Serve and Top: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to redistribute any settled ingredients. Top with the reserved crushed cookies, and optionally drizzle with extra yogurt or sprinkle chocolate chips for added indulgence before serving.
Notes
- Chia seeds are optional but add thickness and extra nutrition.
- Use any milk alternative you prefer, such as oat, soy, or cow’s milk.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted or substituted with honey or agave nectar.
- This recipe can be made vegan by using plant-based yogurt and skipping dairy milk.
- For an extra crunch, add nuts or seeds as a topping.
- Consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
