Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2–3 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), crushed
Optional: 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or 1 scoop protein powder
Instructions
1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir to mix.
2. Add milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously for about 30 seconds until well combined and no clumps remain.
3. Crush 2 chocolate sandwich cookies into small crumbs and pieces. Stir into the oat mixture.
4. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
5. The next morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Top with additional crushed cookies just before serving. Enjoy cold.
Notes
For best texture, use rolled oats (not instant or steel-cut). Stir thoroughly to avoid clumps. Chill overnight for optimal creaminess. Adjust sweetness to your preference. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently if desired, but best served cold. Add fresh toppings just before serving for crunch.
