Instructions

Combine dry ingredients
In a medium bowl or mason jar, add rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
Add wet ingredients
Pour in almond milk, almond butter, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt if using. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Fold in extras
Gently stir in chocolate chips. These add that signature cookie dough flavor and texture.
Refrigerate
Seal the container and refrigerate overnight (at least 4 hours). This allows the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
Serve
In the morning, stir the oats. Enjoy cold or warm slightly in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add a splash of milk if it’s too thick.

Notes

You can substitute peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter based on preference or allergies.
To make it dairy-free, use a plant-based yogurt or skip yogurt entirely.
Add cinnamon or maple syrup for extra warmth and sweetness.
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days—great for meal prep.
For extra texture, top with granola, cacao nibs, or chopped nuts right before serving.
