Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Oreo cookies, crushed
- ½ cup (120 ml) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) chia seeds
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tsp (5 ml) honey or maple syrup
- Crushed Oreos (optional)
- Whipped cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt (optional)
- Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Create Base: Whisk together rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and honey in a sealed glass container, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Chocolate Infusion: Fold in cocoa powder and crumble one Oreo cookie, blending meticulously to develop a rich, decadent foundation with deep chocolate undertones.
- Flavor Enhancement: Introduce vanilla extract, stirring gently to distribute the aromatic essence evenly throughout the mixture.
- Refrigeration Process: Secure the container and allow the oats to rest in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours, enabling the ingredients to meld and the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
- Final Preparation: Retrieve the container and vigorously stir to achieve a silky, uniform texture, adjusting consistency with additional milk if needed.
- Garnish and Serve: Embellish the surface with remaining crushed Oreo cookie, and optionally top with a cloud of whipped cream or extra Greek yogurt for added indulgence.
- Presentation: Optionally dust with chocolate shavings or a light sprinkle of cocoa powder to elevate the visual and flavor profile of this luxurious breakfast creation.
Notes
- Seal Tightly: Use an airtight glass container to prevent flavor absorption and maintain freshness during overnight refrigeration.
- Balance Liquid Consistency: Adjust milk quantity carefully to achieve perfect creamy texture without making the oats too runny or dry.
- Crush Cookies Strategically: Break Oreo cookies into varied sizes for different texture experiences – some fine crumbs, some chunky pieces.
- Temperature Matters: Always serve chilled to preserve the delicate creamy consistency and enhance the overall flavor profile of the overnight oats.
