Cookies and Cream Overnight Oats 

Made with just 3 ingredients!!! Like are you kidding me. It doesn't get any easier than this. Not to mention it has 35g of plant-based protein per serving, so whoa, I know what I'm having for breakfast for the foreseeable. 

Cookies and cream might not sound like a healthy breakfast, but when you pair it with fibre, protein, healthy, fats, and complex carbs, those fun cookies on top are going to make breakfast fun while still balancing your energy levels and keeping you full and satisfied until lunch. That's the whole fun in understanding macronutrients and building a balanced plate! Pair your fun foods like cookies with energy balancing ingredients like fibre and protein and you get the best of both worlds.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Only THREE ingredients! It doesn't get much easier than that.

It's fun to eat with cookies on top, but it's balanced with complex carbs and protein.

Customizable. Switch up the protein to chocolate, or use vanilla cookies instead!

 

What You'll Need

Oats, I like sprouted oats, they offer a bigger nutrition bang for your calorie buck with a denser profile of micronutrients thanks to the sprouting process. They also have just a touch more protein, so why not. I'm big on the One Degree Sprouted Oats because they're sold at Costco, hello bulk bags, but also they're certified organic and glyphosate free.

Vanilla protein powder. Now listen, not all protein powders are created equally. Especially when you're using them with straight water and no plant milk. So if you want a super creamy oat bowl with just oats, protein, and water, I highly recommend Vedge Nutrition Protein Powders. Plus, you can shop their proteins using my affiliate discount code: EVANNRYAN to save! p.s. Canadian friends - for local protein I love the Body Energy Club Clean Vegan Protein. It has a similar texture to Vedge!

Cookies! You can grab straight up Oreos (yes, they're vegan!) or you can grab their gluten free bestie by Glutino, or I just found these Savor cookies at Whole Foods and used them this time around, and while they're not a health product, they do have a more simplified ingredients list to the classic Oreo. Calories are probably similiar all around. 

 

Substitutions

I am a big fan of sprouted oats. The sprouting process boosts the overall nutritional profile of the oats offering you more protein and essential vitamins and minerals per serving. That being said, you do not have to have sprouted oats to make these! You can substitute rolled oats.

A good quality protein powder is important, and Vedge Nutrition is my go-to for that (as mentioned and linked above). But whatever protein powder you like and use will work just fine here. 

Use a different cookie if you please! You could even go as far as to choose a more nutritious cookie so you're keeping this overnight oat bowl as wholesome as possible. Totally up to you.

Cookies and Cream Overnight Oats

Recipe makes 4 servings

Macros per serving:

486 cals - 14g fat - 55g carbs - 35g protein 

 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sprouted oats 
• 4 scoops vanilla protein powder 
• 2 1/2 - 3 cups water (see recipe)
• 8 chocolate sandwich cookies

 

Instructions:

1. Add the oats to a blender and blend into a flour.
2. Add the oat flour to a mixing bowl with vanilla protein powder.
3. Add in 2 cups water and begin to mix. 
4. Depending on your protein powder you will need to adjust how much more water to add. This could go up to 3 - 3 1/2 cups. You want it to be smooth and thick, but pourable.
5. Pour the oats into 4 meal prep containers. These are my go-to glass meal prep containers! (If you also need large glass meal prep containers, I like this double size pack!)
6. Add the cookies to the blender and pulse until you have a cookie crumb.
7. Using a spoon, divide the cookie crumb across the tops of all 4 oat bowls.
8. Seal the containers and set in the fridge.
9. Oats need overnight to set, and can last up to 4 days in the fridge.
10. Enjoy!
