Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder or cookies and cream protein powder
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 crushed Oreo cookies plus more for topping
Topping Ingredients
- 1/3 Lily’s white chocolate cookies and cream bar
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, crushed Oreo cookies, and almond milk.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. If using a jar, secure the lid and shake vigorously.
- Refrigerate: Place the mixture in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Melt Chocolate: When ready to serve, microwave the white chocolate bar and coconut oil in a small bowl in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the chilled oats and allow it to sit for a minute so the chocolate hardens slightly.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Sprinkle extra crushed Oreo cookies on top and enjoy immediately for a creamy, crunchy breakfast treat.
Notes
- This recipe can be made vegan if using plant-based protein powder and dairy-free chocolate.
- For a thicker texture, reduce almond milk slightly or add more chia seeds.
- Make sure to use old fashioned rolled oats, as instant oats may become too mushy.
- Adjust sweetness by selecting your preferred protein powder flavor or adding a sweetener if desired.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
