Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) yogurt
Chocolate and Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 4 Oreo cookies (crumbled)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend rolled oats with milk, creamy yogurt, rich cocoa powder, sweet maple syrup, and aromatic vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.
- Gently crush Oreo cookies and delicately fold them into the oat mixture, ensuring even distribution of cookie fragments throughout the creamy base.
- Carefully portion the mixture into sealed glass containers or mason jars, creating individual serving sizes.
- Refrigerate for 8-12 hours, allowing flavors to meld and oats to soften completely.
- When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator and give a quick stir to refresh the texture.
- Garnish with additional crumbled Oreo cookies on top for extra crunch and visual appeal.
- Serve chilled, enjoying the decadent dessert-like breakfast treat straight from the refrigerator.
Notes
- Swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a vegan-friendly version that keeps the creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of maple syrup for a lower-calorie breakfast option.
- Crush Oreos coarsely to maintain some crunch and texture, preventing them from becoming completely soggy during refrigeration.
- For added nutrition, sprinkle chia seeds or chopped nuts on top before chilling to boost protein and healthy fat content.
