Oreos for breakfast? Yes, please! If you're a die-hard Oreo fan like me, you will love this overnight oats recipe!

Oreo overnight oats taste like a smooth, chocolatey dessert that's disguised as breakfast. You have the sweet flavor of crushed Oreo cookies blended into smooth oats and milk, with a hint of vanilla. It's like having the best flavors of cookies and cream but in a hearty way.

If you're looking for a new breakfast meal, you should try these cookies and cream overnight oats. It's a great option for those busy mornings when you're craving something sweet but still want to keep the sugar in check.

What you need to make this recipe

Ingredients for Oreo overnight oats

Labeled ingredients for overnight oats.
  • Oats: I always use old fashioned rolled oats. They provide a creamy texture that holds up overnight.
  • Milk: I love using unsweetened almond milk, but you can add your favorite milk. Regular, dairy milk creates a rich and creamy base, but plant-based milk works fine, too.
  • Oreo cookies: Of course, these are the star ingredients!
  • Vanilla extract: I use pure vanilla extract for a touch of sweetness and added flavor.
  • Honey: It adds natural sweetness, but you could also use maple syrup, instead.
  • Pinch of salt: It really enhances all the other flavors and adds balance.

See the recipe card at the end of the post for quantities.

Equipment you'll need

You don't need much to make Oreo overnight oats, just a mason jar or airtight container.

How to make Oreo Overnight Oats

Step-by-step Instructions

Oats, milk, honey, salt, vanilla and crushed Oreo cookies in a glass jar.

1. Add all the ingredients to a mason jar.

A spoon in a jar with Oreo overnight oats mixture stirred.

2. Stir until well combined.

Then seal the jar (or container) and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, give the oats a stir and top with your favorite toppings, like additional crushed Oreos.

Storage Tips & Freezing Instructions

  • Refrigeration: Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freezing: After the oats have been in the refrigerator overnight, you can portion them into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before eating.

Variations 

  • Gluten free: To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten free old fashioned rolled oats and Oreo cookies.
  • Make Vegan Oreo Overnight Oats: Just use plant-based milk and replace the honey with maple syrup.
  • Protein Overnight Oats: Add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder for extra protein.
  • Peanut Butter Oreo Oats: Stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter for added richness and a nutty flavor.
  • Tiramisu Overnight Oats: Coffee is amazing with these oats. Just add a splash of coffee and a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder for a tiramisu-inspired flavor.
  • Easy Overnight Oats with Yogurt: Add plain Greek yogurt instead of milk for a tangier flavor. I love Fage 2%.
  • Berry Oreo Oats: Mix in fresh or frozen berries for a fruity contrast. I like strawberries and blueberries with these oats.
  • Biscoff Overnight Oats: Add about 2 tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter to the filling. Then top with some more melted Biscoff spread and crushed Biscoff cookies.

Tips for success

  • Use old fashioned oats: I think old fashioned oats are best. Quick oats can become mushy, and steel-cut oats may not soften enough overnight.
  • Adjust the sweetness: Before refrigerating, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetener to suit your preference.
  • Don't Skip the Chill Time: Let the oats sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours to ensure they're fully softened.

Frequently asked questions 

Are overnight oats better with milk or yogurt?

To me, overnight oats are best with milk because it creates a wonderful, creamy texture and doesn't overpower the overall flavor.

Do you stir overnight oats before putting in the fridge?

Yes. It's important to stir everything well so that the ingredients are blended thoroughly. This ensures that the oats absorb the liquid properly and all the flavors are evenly distributed.

What toppings go well with Oreo overnight oats?

I love these overnight oats with mini chocolate chips, homemade peanut butter, or fresh fruit, especially strawberries.

Equipment

  • mason jar or airtight container

Ingredients

  • ½ cup old fashioned oats (50g)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (125ml)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup or to taste
  • 2 Oreo cookies crushed (plus 1 for garnish, optional)
  • pinch of salt

Note:

For best results, please read through the full post before beginning the recipe.

Instructions

  • In a sealed jar or container, mix the oats, milk, honey, crushed Oreo cookies, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
  • Cover with a lid (or tightly wrap with plastic) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, stir the oats again. If the consistency is too thick, add a little more milk as needed.

Notes

  • Best Oats: Use old-fashioned oats for the ideal texture. Quick oats can get mushy, while steel-cut oats may stay too firm.
  • Sweetness: Taste and adjust the sweetener before refrigerating to match your preference.
  • Chill Time: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to fully soften.
Picture Tutorial & Tips
I have a detailed picture tutorial in my post to help you out with each step of the recipe as well as lots of tips to ensure success.
Baking Measurements
I have used weight measurements for all the recipes on this website. Even though I have also included American volume measurements for convenience, I highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to weigh all ingredients for the most accurate measurements. Digital kitchen scales are more precise than cups, which is so important in baking, and they give the most accurate, consistent results. Happy baking!
