Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (slow or quick cook – gluten free if needed)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp vegan chocolate chips (or cacao nibs)
  • 1 scoop your favourite vegan protein powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp peanut or almond butter
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups dairy free milk

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, vegan chocolate chips, and vegan protein powder. Stir well to distribute all the dry ingredients evenly.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the peanut or almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and dairy-free milk into the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, forming a thick, cookie dough-like mixture.
  3. Divide and Store: Transfer the mixture evenly between individual bowls or airtight storage containers. Cover them tightly to prevent moisture loss or contamination.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Place the containers in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Serve: When ready to eat, remove from the fridge and enjoy your creamy, nutritious cookie dough overnight oats straight from the container or bowl. Optionally, add fresh fruit or extra chocolate chips on top for garnish.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free rolled oats if gluten intolerance is a concern.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with agave nectar or honey if not strictly vegan.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more or less dairy-free milk according to preference.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For added texture, sprinkle nuts or seeds on top before serving.
