A jar of thick, blended Cookie Dough Blended Overnight Oats topped with peanut butter swirl and chocolate chips.

Cookie Dough Blended Overnight Oats

I created this recipe during a hectic week when I craved cookie dough for breakfast but needed something nutritious to power through my mornings. After experimenting with blending the oats instead of leaving them whole, I discovered the most incredible creamy, pudding-like texture that truly mimics the consistency of edible cookie dough. Now it is my go-to Sunday meal prep recipe, and my family requests it constantly!

Oats and Base

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter

  • Stir in the mini chocolate chips gently with a spoon, reserving a few for topping if you plan to use them later.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between two serving jars or containers with lids.
  • Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to fully absorb the liquid and thicken.
  • In the morning, give the oats a quick stir and add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
