Ingredients

Here’s what you need for these healthy cookie dough overnight oats

  • oats – Rolled oats work best. I wouldn’t use steel cut oats in this recipe.
  • vanilla greek yogurt – You can also use plain greek yogurt instead of vanilla if you want to reduce the sugar.
  • milk of choice – I prefer dairy or soy milk for additional protein, but oat milk, cashew milk or coconut milk also work.
  • vanilla protein powder – I like to mix protein powder with collagen
  • pb2 – We used pb2 powder to give a dough-like consistency and flavor.
  • chocolate chips – If you’re not into chocolate chips, you can substitute with sprinkles or extra graham crackers.
  • crumbled graham crackers
  • chia seeds, optional – I also like to add chia seeds to thicken things up and get some extra micronutrients in there.
  • collagen, optional

I love PB2 in recipes, like this high protein granola and easy pb2 cookies.

Making these overnight oats with cookie dough flavors couldn’t be easier. It’s so hands off, which I love as a busy mom of three.

I love doing them in mason jars since they stand upright and take up a little less room in the fridge and you can shake them.

But, you can just mix everything in a tupperware or regular glass too!

You’ll just mix all of the ingredients together and let it sit in the fridge overnight. If you want it for an afternoon snack, mix it at least 3 hours before you want to enjoy.

Honestly, I usually try the mixture now even though it’s watery to see if it’s to my desired sweetness.

It will firm up and get creamy once you put it in the fridge!

I put some graham crackers in the mixed mason jar, and I also add some on top when I take them out of the fridge so they add a nice and crunchy element.

I also love topping with banana slices to bring everything together.

Peanut butter, banana, chocolate, cookie dough = amazing.
