Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or need something special for a brunch lineup, Oreo Overnight Oats deliver convenience and delight in every spoonful.

What Kind of Oats Should I Use?

For the best texture, old-fashioned rolled oats are the way to go. They absorb the liquid overnight without becoming mushy and still hold a tender bite. Avoid instant oats (they get too soft) and steel-cut oats (they don’t soften enough unless cooked).

Ingredients for the Oreo Overnight Oats

Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats – These provide the ideal texture and are the backbone of your overnight oats.

Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy) – Adds creaminess. Almond milk, oat milk, or regular milk all work great.

Greek Yogurt – Makes the oats rich and thick while adding a protein boost.

Chia Seeds – Help thicken the oats and bring in healthy omega-3s and fiber.

Maple Syrup or Honey – Just a touch for natural sweetness.

Vanilla Extract – Enhances the cookie flavor.

Crushed Oreos – The star of the show! Add some inside and save a few for the top.

Mini Chocolate Chips (optional) – For extra chocolatey bites throughout.

How To Make the Oreo Overnight Oats

Step 1: Combine the Base

In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.

Stir in 2 crushed Oreos and a teaspoon of mini chocolate chips if using. Make sure the cookies are folded in, so every bite is dotted with cookies and cream goodness.

Step 3: Let It Chill

Seal your jar or cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight (at least 4 hours). The oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid and turn perfectly creamy by morning.

Step 4: Top and Serve

In the morning, give it a quick stir. Top with another crushed Oreo or two, and an extra sprinkle of chocolate chips if you like. Grab a spoon and enjoy!

How to Serve and Store Oreo Overnight Oats

Serve these chilled straight from the fridge or let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if you prefer a softer bite. They’re perfect as a grab-and-go breakfast, a satisfying snack, or even a midnight treat.

To store, keep the oats covered in the refrigerator. They stay fresh and delicious for up to 4 days. If they thicken too much over time, just stir in a splash of milk before eating.
