Variations

It's so easy to vary this cookie dough overnight oats recipe. Here's a few ideas:

• Add different types of chocolate. Try using dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or a combination of both.
• Mix in some nuts. Chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts would all be delicious in this recipe.
• Use chia seeds. For something different, try adding chia seeds in place of oatmeal. You can even make a protein chia pudding by adding protein powder.
• Try using different types of oats. You can use rolled oats, steel cut oats, or even oat bran in this recipe.
• Add some dried fruit. Diced dried apricots, cranberries, or raisins would all be tasty additions to the overnight oats.
• Experiment with different sweeteners. Instead of using maple syrup, try using honey or agave nectar for a different flavor.
• Add some spices. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg would add an extra depth of flavor to the overnight oats.

Tips

• Use old-fashioned oats. Also known as rolled oats, old-fashioned oats will hold their shape and texture better than quick oats.
• Finely chop nuts if added. That way, they won't overpower the overnight oats.
• Use a thick spread to give the oats a cookie dough-like texture. Peanut butter, nut butter, or seed butter is needed for a thicker texture. You can also use Nutella for added flavor and richness.
• Add some extra protein to your oats. Consider stirring in a scoop of protein powder.

Serving suggestions

Serving chocolate chip cookie dough overnight oats couldn't be simpler - scoop out the desired portion into a bowl or jar and you're ready to go! If you're feeling extra indulgent, top off your oats with crushed peanuts or even a drizzle of melted chocolate.

For an extra burst of sweetness, top your oats with fresh fruit such as sliced bananas, berries, or chopped apples. The tartness of the berries will perfectly balance out the indulgent flavors of chocolate and cookie dough. You can sprinkle on air fryer strawberries and dried fruit too.

Storage

Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If you want to make single servings, you can make a double batch and divide it into individual containers or jars.
