Overnight oats have become a breakfast staple for busy mornings, and for good reason. They require no cooking, take just minutes to prepare, and are ready to grab straight from the fridge. This version leans into comfort and familiarity, using vanilla, chocolate chips, and almond flour to recreate that classic cookie dough taste—without raw eggs or refined sugars.

Perfect for meal prep, quick breakfasts, or even a healthy dessert, cookie dough overnight oats prove that nutritious food doesn’t have to feel boring or restrictive.

Why Cookie Dough Flavor Works So Well in Overnight Oats

The magic of this recipe lies in texture and balance. Rolled oats soften overnight, creating a thick, spoonable base similar to edible cookie dough. Almond flour adds richness and mimics the mouthfeel of dough, while vanilla and a hint of sweetness bring everything together.

Mini chocolate chips are key—they distribute evenly and ensure every bite has a little chocolate. Greek yogurt boosts creaminess and protein, making this breakfast both satisfying and energizing.
