This High-Protein Cookie Dough Overnight Oats recipe combines creamy oats with chia seeds, protein powder, and chocolate chips for a delicious, nutritious breakfast that feels like a treat. Easy to prepare the night before, it offers a creamy, thick texture with a sweet, nutty flavor that's perfect for busy mornings or a post-workout meal.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk (almond, cashew, or dairy)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, kosher salt, and mini chocolate chips thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk of your choice along with the maple syrup, nut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously or whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and thicken to a creamy consistency.
  4. Serve: Before eating, stir the oats well to combine any settled ingredients. Optionally, add extra chocolate chips or a dollop of nut butter on top. You can enjoy it chilled directly or warm it briefly in the microwave for a cozy meal.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free oats if you have gluten sensitivities.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup.
  • Protein powder can be vanilla or unflavored based on preference.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based protein powder and plant milk.
  • Chill time is essential for the oats to absorb the liquid and soften properly.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge up to 3 days.
