Substations

- Add more protein: This overnight oat recipe has some protein from the Greek yogurt, but you can always add more with a little protein powder!

- Sweetener: Instead of maple syrup, feel free to swap it out with brown sugar or any other type of sweetener you prefer. A sugar substitute like coconut sugar would also work.

Ingredients
For the Overnight Vanilla Oats
For the Healthy Cookie Dough Bites
Instructions
For the Healthy Cookie Dough Bites
-
Place all of the ingredients into a medium bowl and mix to combine. The texture should be very similar to classic cookie dough. If it’s too thick, add a little water by the 1/2 teaspoon. If it’s too thin, add a more oat flour by the 1/2 teaspoon.
-
Place a piece of parchment paper onto your countertop. Then, roll the dough out into a ball and place it on top of the parchment paper. Flour a rolling pin with oat flour and then roll the dough into a 1/4-inch thick slab. Optionally sprinkle the dough with sea salt.
-
Place the rolled out cookie dough into your fridge to let set for 15-20 minutes.
-
Remove from the fridge and use a sharp knife to cut cookie dough into 1/4-inch squares.
For the Overnight Oats
-
Add all of the ingredients into a medium-sized glass container. Mix to combine and cover. Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
-
In the morning, check the consistency of your oats. If you like things a little less thick, add a few more tablespoons of milk.
-
Serve with the fudge swirl and cookie dough pieces.
Tips & Notes
- If you don’t like your oats super thick, use 1 cup of milk instead of 3/4 cup. Note that you can always add more milk the morning off to thin things out!
- Not a fan of the texture of rolled oats? Blend up your oats in a food processor or blender to make them extra creamy!
