This easy overnight oats recipe combines the nostalgic flavor of cookies and cream with a creamy oat base and a crunchy Oreo crumble topping. It’s a make-ahead breakfast that tastes like dessert but packs a nutritious punch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 6 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional mix-ins: mini chocolate chips, protein powder, nut butter
  • For topping: 2 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed
  • Optional: drizzle of melted chocolate for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 6 Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin or sturdy mug until you have both fine crumbs and some chunky bits. Reserve 2 cookies for topping.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively, mash with a fork.)
  3. In a medium bowl, add rolled oats, blended yogurt-cottage cheese mixture, milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add the crushed Oreo cookies to the oat mixture and gently stir until evenly distributed.
  5. Spoon the mixture into glass jars or containers, leaving space at the top for the Oreo crumble. Seal with lids.
  6. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
  7. Just before serving, roughly crush the reserved 2 Oreo cookies and sprinkle on top of each jar. Optionally, drizzle with melted chocolate or add mini chocolate chips.
  8. Serve cold. If oats are too thick, stir in a splash more milk to loosen.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats and cookies. For vegan, swap Greek yogurt and cottage cheese for plant-based alternatives. Add fruit or nuts for variety. Crush cookies for topping just before serving to keep them crunchy. Adjust sweetness to taste after chilling.
