Cookie Dough Overnight Oats are an easy breakfast you can prepare the night before. I like making cookie dough overnight oats because they taste like a treat but are still filling enough for breakfast. The oats soften in the fridge overnight and the flavors mix together by morning.

These cookie dough overnight oats are good for busy mornings since everything is ready to eat. You just grab the jar from the fridge and it’s ready.

Why You Will Love These Cookie Dough Overnight Oats

You will love these Cookie Dough Overnight Oats because they are quick to prepare and easy to keep in the fridge for the next day. The oats become soft overnight and the flavor reminds you of cookie dough.

Another reason these cookie dough overnight oats work well is that they make breakfast simple. You prepare everything once and breakfast is ready the next morning.

They also work well for meal prep since you can make a few jars ahead of time.

What You Will Need
