    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's easy to make. All you have to do is mix some stuff together and let it chill for a few hours in the fridge. This is a great recipe for anyone who does not want to put in too much effort or time towards meal prep. You can even add in some sprinkles for a fun spin on these Birthday Cake Overnight Oats!
    2. Simple ingredients. With basic ingredients like oats, yogurt, and milk, this recipe is pretty easy to shop for (assuming you have to do any shopping at all, that is).
    3. Perfect for making in advance! You can make overnight oats up to a few days in advance, so go ahead and prep some food for the week and enjoy! Wake up and eat them cold or microwave them for warmth. I love cold oats in summer.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make oreo overnight oats.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Old fashioned oats- This is the base of the recipe. These oats will soak up liquid overnight to soften without the need to cook them. If you still have some oats left over, consider making Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats.

    Greek yogurt- Adding Greek yogurt will make the oatmeal thicker, and creamier.

    Maple syrup- Use maple syrup as a natural sweetener. Honey could be used instead.

    Oreo Cookies- You'll only need a few Oreo cookies to create a nice cookies and cream flavor in your oats. If you still have cookies leftover try them in this Oreo Iced Coffee Recipe.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🧾 Substitutions

    Oats. I have had great success using old fashioned oats and steel cut oats as well as quick cook steel cut oats (the kind that are chopped into smaller pieces). The difference in texture is pretty minimal.

    Milk. You can use whole milk, low fat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or any other milk of choice. Even water or coffee creamer can work well in a pinch. Unsweetened almond milk is our favorite.

    Sweetener. Non-refined sugar sweetener options include honey and maple syrup but you can also choose to use agave or a low-carb liquid sugar substitute. We like to use maple syrup in our oats because it pairs well with some Maple Syrup Iced Coffee.

    Yogurt. You can use any plain or flavored yogurt of choice. Our go-to is Greek Yogurt because it's nicer, but regular yogurts can be used too. We really enjoy Honey flavored Greek yogurt (it's our favorite). You can also omit the yogurt and just add in another ¼ cup of milk.

    Step 6: Stir well to combine.

    Step 7: Pour the oat mixture into a sealed container and place into the fridge to chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.

    Step 8: In the morning, you can add more milk to adjust the oat mixture to your liking (or eat it thick).

    Enjoy!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Optional. Adding chia seeds is optional but can be a great way to get additional benefits from your meal.

    Chia seeds will absorb some of the liquid in the oats so in the morning they will be pretty thick. You can thin down your oats to your desired consistency by stirring in additional milk.

    We even use chia seeds as a thickener in our homemade jams like Sugar Free Strawberry Jam and Sugar Free Blueberry Jam.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    Your overnight oats are good for 5 days in the fridge so if desired, you can meal prep for the week on Sunday and not have to worry about breakfast again until Saturday.

    ⏲️Make Ahead Instructions

    You can eat your oats right after they've been mixed together, but the oats will be chewy. Letting them sit for at least 4 to 6 hours is ideal for a better texture and consistency as it will take several hours for the oats to absorb the liquid in the oats. 

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Are overnight oats still healthy?

    Overnight oats are a great breakfast option for when you want something healthier and filling. It's a great way to get a good start to your day.

    Why are overnight oats so high in calories?

    One of the biggest reasons why overnight oats can vary in calories is simply because of the milk used to moisten them. Whole milk has a lot more calories than alternative milk like Almond milk or coconut milk. Swapping out the milk and choosing low-calorie add-ins can help to reduce the calories per serving.

    Why can't you use water with overnight oats?

    Technically you could use water, but I wouldn't recommend it. The reason we choose milk is that it helps to add creaminess to the oats and water, simply doesn't do that. While it will still create an oat breakfast, the results just aren't the same.
