Super Easy Cookies and Cream Overnight Oats (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)

I love all of the recipes I make. It’s what I imagine having children is like—there’s no way to choose your favorite. But y’all, I’m proud of this one. I’ve been trying to nail the healthy cookies-and-cream game forever, and I’ve finally cracked it with these creamy, chocolaty Cookies and Cream Overnight Oats. (FYI: These healthy oats are also gluten-free, and easily made dairy-free!)

The genius is the “cookies” mixture, which is essentially a riff on my fruit crisp topping, baked alone—and the result is Oreo-like crumbles that literally take 10 minutes to make. ⁣So many cookies and cream recipes out there just call for actual Oreos crumbled up or chocolate chips instead. Both are fine, but I wanted to create a healthier version that still felt and tasted like the real cookie crumbles.

If you want that super authentic Oreo color, the secret is to use Black cocoa powder, which you can buy online. It has a ton of antioxidants and a quite bitter flavor, so I find it’s best to mix it with normal raw cacao—or you can just use all raw cacao, which will taste just as good but have a slightly lighter hue. ⁣

To make them, you mix together almond flour, cacao, coconut sugar, vanilla, and salt. Then use your fingers to crumble in butter, ghee, or coconut oil (your choice!) until a pebble-like mixture forms. Spread out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for just seven minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and remove from the oven. That’s it!

Now that I’ve created these delicious crumbles, the possibilities are ENDLESS! Cookies and cream banana bread?? Cookies and cream milkshakes??? Cookies and cream cookies??? What should I make for us????⁣ Comment below or let me know on Insta.

How to make the Cookies and Cream Overnight Oats

So the overnight oats in this recipe are actually the “cream” part of cookies and cream. To make them, you’ll stir together two cups of rolled oats, three cups of your milk of choice, 1/4 cup of chia seeds, a teaspoon and a half of vanilla extract, three tablespoons of your sweetener of choice, and a pinch of fine grain sea salt.

Let them sit for at least an hour (or up to four days) in the fridge. ⁣And voila! Optionally dairy-free, super-creamy overnight oats. To assemble the whole cookies and cream situation, either do layers of cookie and oats, like a parfait, or top oats generously with cookies! Serves 2! Enjoy!
