Ingredients
  

Oats

  • 1/2 cup Rolled or Quick Oats *I like to do 1/2 and 1/2
  • 3/4 cup milk, of choice
  • 2-3 tbsp vanilla protein powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup THICK coconut yogurt or greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or cashew butter *sunflower butter for nut-free
  • 1-1 1/2 tbsp Coconut sugar or golden monk fruit sweetener *These make the best cookie flavor, but honey or maple syrup also work
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract & pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tbsp raisins, chopped dates, or chocolate chips

Cookie dough balls (prep as a snack for the week and add a few to your oats!)

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 2 1/2 tbsp protein powder of choice *or more oat flour
  • 1/4 cup cashew or almond butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp milk, as needed
  • 3 tbsp cacao nibs or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Oats

  • In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients, mixing well until there are no clumps. You can taste the mixture and adjust as desired.
  • Add the oat mixture to your jar or bowl, cover, and place in the fridge overnight or at least 4-5 hours. Be sure to give the oats enough soaking time as this is what softens them and creates the best texture. If you’d like a lighter/thinner consistency, add an extra 3-4 tablespoons of milk.
  • When ready to eat, I like to top my overnight oats with coconut yogurt (or greek yogurt) and a few of my leftover protein cookie dough balls (this is totally optional, but delicious!).

Cookie dough balls

  • Mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl until a dough forms. If your dough is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of milk, as needed, until dough forms. It shouldn't be sticky, but shouldn't be dry. Fold in the cacao nibs or chocolate chips last.
  • Roll the dough into balls and place in the freezer in an air-tight container.

Notes

Don't love raisins? Swap the raisins for chopped dates or chocolate chips for an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie vibe!
These will last up to 5 days in the fridge.
