Cookies at breakfast? You got it with these Oreo overnight oats! This cookies and cream combo is the perfect meal prep breakfast to help fuel your fitness goals. It provides both carbohydrates for energy and protein for muscle repair and recovery. In fact, this recipe provides 30 grams of protein at breakfast, thanks to using yogurt, milk, and protein powder.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Here’s a photo of all the ingredients you’ll need, along with ingredient notes and substitution suggestions.
- Rolled oats – These are generally best for creating the right texture for overnight oats. Steel cut oats typically require more liquid and longer soaking, so I don’t recommend them for this recipe unless you know how to adjust for that. Quick oats can be used if that’s what you have on hand; the texture will be a bit different but it still works.
- Milk – I use 1% because that’s what I always have on hand, but any milk that you prefer works. Keep in mind that different alternatives have different nutritional value, so it may impact the nutrition facts.
- Chia seeds – These help thicken the mixture and add fiber and omega-3s. If you don’t have any on hand though, it’s fine to just skip them!
- Greek yogurt – This adds protein and creaminess. If you want to make a plant-based version of this recipe, you can swap in a dairy-free yogurt instead. Keep in mind it may impact the nutrition facts.
- Protein powder – I use vanilla whey protein powder, but a vanilla plant-based protein powder will also work.
- Oreos – You can use any brand of chocolate sandwich cookie, or even play around with other types of cookies too.
Instructions
Once you’ve got all your ingredients, add them all to a jar, except set aside one of the Oreos for now.
Shake up the jar and put it in the fridge overnight.
When ready to enjoy, add the last crushed Oreo on top. YUM!
