Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats use certified gluten free if needed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, agave
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cookie Dough Bites
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon creamy almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 pinch salt tiny pinch
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips use dairy free for a vegan option

Equipment

  • Mason Jar
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Oat Base: In a mason jar or a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until it's well combined. Make sure the chia seeds are mixed in thoroughly so they don't clump together.
  2. Create the Cookie Dough Bites: In a separate small bowl, mix together the almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, and the pinch of salt. Stir until a thick, dough like consistency forms. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. Roll the mixture into small, bite sized balls. You should get about 4 to 6 little cookie dough bites.
  3. Combine and Chill: Gently press the cookie dough bites into the top of your oat mixture or stir them right in. Cover the jar or bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
  4. Let the Magic Happen Overnight: Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but for the best texture, leave it overnight. During this time, the oats will soften and absorb the liquid, and the flavors will meld together to create that perfect creamy, cookie dough experience.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: The next morning, give the oats a quick stir, add any extra toppings you desire, and dig in! It's a perfectly chilled, ready to eat breakfast that feels like an absolute dream.

Notes

Store your overnight oats in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For variations, make it vegan by using maple syrup and dairy-free chocolate chips. For a high-protein boost, add a scoop of protein powder. These oats are meant to be enjoyed cold, no reheating needed.
