Ingredients

Scale

Oats Base

  • 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Flavor & Sweetness

  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Protein & Creaminess

  • 1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl or a mason jar, add 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 scoop protein powder, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Mix in 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Stir well to evenly distribute the nut butter and sweetness throughout the oats.
  3. Incorporate liquid: Add 1 cup of milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based) to the mixture, stirring thoroughly until all ingredients are combined.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Fold in 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top for garnish if desired.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and soften.
  6. Serve and enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a good stir, add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency, garnish with additional chocolate chips, and enjoy your cookie dough overnight oats!
