Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-in
- 1/4 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
Toppings
- Additional crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, mix the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Cookies: Gently fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, distributing them evenly within the oat mixture without breaking them down too much.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight (at least 6-8 hours) to allow the oats to soak up the liquids and soften to a creamy consistency.
- Serve: In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir to mix the cookies evenly, then add your favorite toppings such as extra crushed cookies, whipped cream, or chocolate chips before enjoying.
Notes
- This recipe is easily customizable to suit dietary preferences by choosing dairy or plant-based milk and yogurt.
- Maple syrup or honey is optional for added sweetness depending on your taste and dietary needs.
- For a thicker consistency, reduce milk slightly or increase yogurt.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
- Add toppings just before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy.
