Ingredients
  

Oats Base
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Provides the perfect chewy texture; opt for rolled oats to avoid mushiness.
  • 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy) Ensures creaminess; swap for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
Flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Almond Butter or Peanut Butter Adds rich, nutty flavor; natural almond butter yields the best consistency.
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup or Honey Sweetens the oats beautifully; use brown sugar for a more cookie-like flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the overall taste, giving it that dessert-like quality.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon Introduces warmth and depth to enhance the flavor profile.
Toppings
  • 1 tablespoon Mini Chocolate Chips For that indulgent cookie dough feel; these little gems are a must!
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds or Flaxseeds (optional) Boosts thickness and nutrition without altering taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Crushed Nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional) Adds delightful crunch; can be omitted for nut-free versions.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • spoon
  • plastic wrap or airtight container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats with 1 cup of milk. Stir until the oats are fully submerged.
  2. Incorporate 2 tablespoons of almond butter, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon into the oat mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
  3. Mix in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds if desired. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
  4. Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips and crushed nuts if using. Mix well without breaking the chocolate chips.
  5. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate overnight, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. In the morning, stir the oat mixture before serving. Enjoy it directly or warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds.
