How to Make Creamy Cookie Dough Overnight Oats
  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir until these ingredients are well blended and fully incorporated.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of peanut or almond butter, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of milk to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until the texture is creamy and smooth.
  3. Portion the oat mixture into jars or bowls. Cover them well and refrigerate overnight for at least 8 hours, or a minimum of 3 hours if you're in a hurry.
  4. When ready to eat, give your creamy oats a gentle stir. You can savor them cold or warm them up in the microwave.
