Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup large flake oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • ⅔ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup dairy milk or 1 ⅓ cup plant-based alternative
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 3 Oreo cookies chopped

Instructions

  • In a sealable jar or container, mix the oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt and milk together. Stir well.
  • Place the mixture in the fridge for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  • Right before you're ready to eat, place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high in 20 second intervals. Stir in between each interval and continue this pattern until they are melted.
  • When you're ready to eat, add the drizzle of melted chocolate and the chopped Oreos. Stir and enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions

  • Quick oats or old fashioned rolled oats
    • If you don’t have large flake oats you can substitute quick or rolled oats instead. I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp so that it’s not too liquidy or mushy.
  • Flavoured Greek yogurt
    • If you prefer a different flavoured Greek yogurt, you can use this in place of the plain Greek yogurt in this recipe. If you’re looking for a flavoured yogurt, I recommend vanilla or strawberry flavoured yogurt.
  • Regular yogurt
    • Instead of Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt. However, this tends to be more liquidy than Greek yogurt so I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp.
  • Alternative milks
    • If you are looking for a higher protein option, I recommend using dairy milk or soy milk. Other plant-based beverages like oat milk or almond milk will still work in this recipe but provide much less protein.
  • Nut or seed butters
    • If you want to go Parent Trap style, add a dollop of peanut butter (or another nut or seed butter) for a delicious flavour combination!
  • Protein powder
    • If you want to add an extra boost of protein to overnight oats, you can use protein powder. I recommend adding a small amount to start with to make sure you enjoy the taste and texture. 
  • Maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract, coconut flakes
    • Add any of these ingredients to increase the sweetness of this breakfast.
