A healthy indulgence- good enough to be dessert, but healthy enough for breakfast! Raw oats and chia are blended with Greek yogurt, then dressed up with all the flavors of cookie dough.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain, unsweetened
3 tablespoons oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 banana (I use frozen, but fresh will work too!)
2 teaspoons sunflower butter (or almond butter)
1 teaspoon dark chocolate chips (I use 85% dark chocolate, chopped)
1 teaspoon shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
pinch sea salt
sweetener of choice optional, allulose, maple syrup, honey, to taste

Instructions

Add oats, chia seeds, and yogurt to a bowl, and mix. Leave in the fridge for 1 hour to overnight. If you'd like a thinner textured oatmeal, add 2 tablespoons - 1/3 cup of milk of choice.
Chop the frozen banana (or fresh banana), and add the nut butter, coconut, vanilla, pinch of sea salt, and chocolate chips, Mix together and enjoy!

Notes

Mix up this cookie dough overnight oats recipe with your own additions or substitutions!

Add Berries: Fruit is great with the flavors in this recipe! I suggest adding chopped raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries to the top.

Don't like banana? Banana is the main source of sweetener in this recipe. If you omit the banana, replace it with a little maple syrup, honey, or allulose sweetener.

Too Thick?: If your Greek yogurt is very thick (as it should be!), this recipe will turn out very thick as well. I enjoy that texture because it reminds me of cookie dough! If you'd like more of a traditional overnight oats texture but the cookie dough flavor, just add 1/3 cup of a milk of choice. I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

Why Add Nut Butter? Nut butter helps give this a creamier, thicker texture and adds healthy fats and a great subtle flavor. I love SunButter in my oats, but use your favorite nut butter! Almond butter, cashew butter and peanut butter all work!

Add Protein: Add 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder and 1/4 cup of your favorite type of milk to the oat, chia seed, and yogurt mixture. Use a good flavored protein powder. I recommend this unsweetened and unflavored whey protein.
