Ingredients You’ll Need

One of the best things about this OREO OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE is how simple yet essential each ingredient is. Every item on this list plays a key role in making your oats creamy, indulgent, and bursting with that classic cookies-and-cream flavor.

Rolled oats: The hearty base that gives your overnight oats structure and a perfectly chewy bite.
Milk (or dairy-free alternative): Infuses richness and turns the oats deliciously creamy—almond, oat, or dairy milk all work!
Greek yogurt (optional): Adds protein and a silky, tangy richness for extra decadence.
Oreo cookies, crushed: The star of the show—crushed Oreos impart that unmistakable cookies-and-cream magic.
Honey or maple syrup (optional): Sweetens things up just enough; adjust to your taste or skip if your Oreos deliver enough sweetness.
Vanilla extract: A little splash goes a long way to enhance the classic Oreo flavor.
Whipped cream and extra Oreos for topping: Because you deserve a treat—don’t skip this step for ultimate delight!

How to Make OREO OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE

Step 1: Combine Your Ingredients

Grab a mason jar or bowl—anything with a lid works great. Add your rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), crushed Oreos, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract right into the container. Resist the urge to snack on the Oreos (okay, one won’t hurt!) as you mix everything together. Each ingredient will get to know each other overnight, so just toss them all in.

Step 2: Mix Well

Stir everything until the oats are fully coated and soaked in the creamy mixture. This ensures every spoonful delivers the cookies-and-cream experience, and there are no dry oats lurking at the bottom. If you’re prepping a few jars at once, take an extra minute to scrape down the edges so nothing gets missed!

Step 3: Refrigerate and Let the Magic Happen

Seal your jar (or cover your bowl with plastic wrap) and pop it in the fridge overnight, or for at least four hours. The oats soak up all that deliciousness, the cookies soften, and breakfast transforms into a morning treat that tastes like dessert.

Step 4: Serve with Style

In the morning, give your oats a good stir. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and more crushed Oreos. This is where “breakfast” and “fun” officially meet—grab a spoon and dive in!

How to Serve OREO OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE

Garnishes

Think big: pile on whipped cream, extra Oreo crumbles, chocolate chips, or even a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce. These toppings don’t just look pretty—they add luscious, crunchy, and creamy elements that make your oats totally irresistible.

Side Dishes

Balance out the sweetness by serving your OREO OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE alongside a fresh fruit medley or a handful of berries. If you’re extra hungry, a side of scrambled eggs or a slice of whole-grain toast rounds out the meal and keeps you satisfied all morning.

Creative Ways to Present

Layer your oats and toppings parfait-style in a clear glass for a breakfast that looks as amazing as it tastes. Or, portion the oats into mini jars for a fun grab-and-go option—perfect for a brunch spread or a morning treat at work!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

OREO OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE is pretty forgiving: just keep any leftovers in the fridge, tightly sealed, for up to 3 days. The oats will get a bit softer, and the cookies will be more blended in, but the flavor is still out-of-this-world delicious.

Freezing

While these oats are best enjoyed fresh, you actually can freeze them! Store the oats portion without toppings in a freezer-safe container for up to one month. Just thaw in the fridge overnight and add toppings in the morning for maximum freshness.

Reheating

Typically, overnight oats are meant to be eaten cold, but if you prefer them warm, microwave your jar (sans whipped cream and extra Oreos) for 30-60 seconds, stir well, then add those fancy toppings. It’s like eating Oreo pudding for breakfast—so cozy!

FAQs

Can I make this OREO OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE vegan?

Absolutely! Just use a plant-based milk, dairy-free yogurt, and check your Oreo label for vegan status (yay, most are!). Your OREO OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE will still be creamy and totally delightful.

What’s the best container to use?

A mason jar with a tight-fitting lid is ideal (and looks cute), but any bowl with a cover will work just fine. The key is making sure the oats are covered so they can absorb all the flavors overnight.

How long can I let the oats sit in the fridge?

Overnight is perfect, but you can leave them in the fridge for up to three days. The texture gets softer the longer they sit, but that cookies-and-cream flavor keeps getting better!

Can I add protein powder to the OREO OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE?

Definitely! Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder when mixing everything together. Just add a bit more milk to keep things creamy, and you’ll have a breakfast that’s equal parts indulgent and satisfying.

Do I have to use Greek yogurt?

Nope! It’s totally optional. Greek yogurt adds extra protein and creaminess, but you can skip it or swap in coconut yogurt, regular yogurt, or even extra milk if you prefer.

Final Thoughts

If you’re a fan of Oreos, oats, or just anything that feels like a sweet surprise to start your day, give this OREO OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE a whirl. It’s quick, endlessly flexible, and guaranteed to make your mornings a little more magical. Treat yourself—you deserve breakfast that feels like a celebration!
