Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Overnight Oats

Cookie Dough Overnight Oats that taste just like real cookie dough! Over the years, these have become my go-to healthy breakfast for busy mornings. Made with 30 grams of protein per serving in just 5 minutes they're not only delicious and filling, but also incredibly easy to make. Even my kids love them! You can make them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for later. With the option of either using cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, both are high in protein and equally delicious!

Notes

With the blended method, the oats will have a thick, cookie-dough-like texture. After setting overnight in the refrigerator, feel free to stir in extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
