This creamy blend combines rolled oats, chia seeds, and protein powder with a cookies and cream twist using sandwich cookies and a white chocolate topping, offering a delicious and wholesome start to your day.
Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder (or cookies and cream protein powder)
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 crushed sandwich cookies (plus more for topping)
Topping
- ⅓ of a Lily’s white chocolate cookies and cream bar
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, crushed sandwich cookies, and almond milk. If using a mason jar, secure the lid and shake well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Soak: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and let it soak overnight or for at least a few hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, softening to a creamy consistency.
- Melt Topping: When ready to serve, melt the Lily’s white chocolate cookies and cream bar together with the coconut oil in the microwave using 10-second increments. Stir gently until smooth and fully melted.
- Assemble and Serve: Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the soaked overnight oats. The chocolate will harden quickly, creating a delightful texture contrast. Immediately sprinkle additional crushed sandwich cookies on top and enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice such as oat, soy, or dairy milk.
- Adjust the amount of protein powder to your dietary needs or preferred flavor.
- For a vegan version, ensure the protein powder and white chocolate bar used are plant-based.
- Use gluten-free oats and cookies if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
- The topping hardens quickly, so add crushed cookies promptly for best texture.
