Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Substitution: Use quick oats for a softer consistency, but be cautious with steel-cut oats unless soaked longer.
  • 1 cup Milk Substitution: Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk works wonderfully for a dairy-free version.
For the Add-ins
  • 2 tbsp Almond Butter or Peanut Butter Substitution: Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free alternative.
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup or Honey Substitution: Brown sugar can offer a more authentic cookie dough flavor.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Tip: Always choose pure vanilla for the best results.
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon Note: This is optional; adjust according to your personal taste.
  • 2 tbsp Chia Seeds or Flaxseeds Note: Increases the nutritional value with omega-3s.
For the Treat
  • 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Note: Choose dairy-free chips if needed.
  • 1/4 cup Crushed Nuts (Walnuts or Pecans) Tip: This is optional; you can easily substitute with seeds for a nut-free option.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Sealed container or mason jar
  • Spoon or whisk

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cookie Dough Overnight Oats
  1. In a mixing bowl, add rolled oats, your choice of milk, almond or peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a dash of cinnamon. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. For a thicker consistency, stir in chia seeds or flaxseeds now and mix thoroughly ensuring even distribution.
  3. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips and crushed nuts, incorporating without breaking the chocolate chips.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a sealed container or mason jar. Seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats and enjoy straight from the jar or in a bowl, topped with more chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
