Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based, e.g., unsweetened almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) cookie butter (e.g., Speculoos)
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g) cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Cookie crumbs or chopped nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the oats and milk in a jar or airtight container. Stir gently to combine.
- Add the cookie butter and mix; it may be thick or clumpy but will soften overnight.
- If using, add Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and stir.
- Add maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Stir until mostly smooth with no dry oats remaining; some cookie butter streaks are fine.
- Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats gently. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
- Top with cookie crumbs, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired before serving.
Notes
Use rolled oats for best texture; warm thick cookie butter slightly if needed to blend smoothly. Adjust sweetness after tasting in the morning. Add crunchy toppings fresh before serving to avoid sogginess. Can be warmed in microwave for 30-45 seconds with a splash of milk if preferred warm.
