Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Overnight Oats

 

 

 

 

Dessert for Breakfast?  YES please!!!  AND it's healthy too?!  I love oatmeal for breakfast so when I learned about overnight oats I was SUPER excited because I love to plan ahead and make ahead meals and snacks make nutrition so much easier.  Anyone who knows me knows that cookie dough is my VERY favorite snack and also my greatest food weakness!  Needless to say, this recipe is an answer to my cravings!!!!  Give it a try!  You won' t be disappointed.  :) Even the kids love this and it makes breakfast quick, easy, and healthy.

 

 

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, gluten free (I have also used steel cut oats for a crunchier texture)

1 pitted date, finely chopped

1 Tbsp chia seeds

1/2 tsp honey (or pure maple syrup)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

chocolate chips

1/4 cup chopped chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bar (or Larabar)

 

Combine oats, dates, chia seeds, honey, cinnamon, and almond milk in a jar.  Cover and store in fridge overnight.  When ready to serve, sprinkle with chocolate chips and pieces of Quest bar. (I used the Larabar and it was delicious!)

You can add extra almond milk before serving if you prefer a thinner consistency.
