These Cookie Dough Blended Oats combine rolled oats, vanilla, nut butter and dark chocolate chips into a thick, batter-like breakfast that tastes like raw cookie dough. They take about 10 minutes to prepare and are perfect for meal-prep.
Instructions
Use a blender to combine the oats mixture until mostly smooth and thick. You’ll need a good high powered blender like a Nutribullet or Vitamix. I use both of these regularly and they’re excellent. Here’s how to make your cookie dough oats:
Step One: Combine all blended oats ingredients in a high-powered blender.
Step Two: Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth and thick, with a batter-like consistency.
Step Three: Transfer the mixture to a jar or container.
Step Four: Top with dark chocolate chips and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Step Five: Enjoy your delicious, make-ahead breakfast! These oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Miss Sarah Evans says
Can I use black chia? That’s all I have
Liz Douglas says
hi Sarah. yep its totally fine! black chia will work the same as white chia 🙂
Louisa says
This was delicious! I had to tweak slightly as I use unsweetened protein powder – so I added a little light vanilla syrup. Overall, mine ended up quite liquid-y so I might reduce the milk a lot next time but even with my slight texture fail, it was so damn tasty that I couldn’t get enough! Will definitely be one I make again (many times)!
Liz Douglas says
love hearing this Louisa!! the milk-to-oats ratio was a bit off before, but I’ve updated the recipe now so it should come out nice and thick next time 🙂
Berenice Long says
I made this every night! I added collagen powder and substituted maple syrup for Splenda (1 packet).
I love it! I actually look forward to every morning. This is delicious and filling!
Liz Douglas says
aw Berenice this makes me so happy! that’s the best compliment. so glad it’s become a fave for you 🙂
michelle says
made this and it was so good! really tasted like cookie dough. thank you for the recipe!
Liz Douglas says
hi Michelle, thanks for giving it a try!! 🙂
Ilse says
Mine came out as pure liquid. How can I thicken it without affecting the taste and the calories?
Liz Douglas says
so sorry about that Ilse! the oats to milk ratio was a bit off before but it’s updated now 🙂 it should set creamy instead of runny if you give it another try.
Charise says
Delicious! Made this on Sunday night but forgot the picture Monday morning because I was rushing out the door.
Mine did end up a little more runny so I think I’ll add more oats next time. But it was so filling!
Liz Douglas says
thanks for giving it a go, Charise! the oats to milk ratio was a little off before but it’s updated now 🙂 would love for you to try again.
Sammie says
Hi! I’ve made this recipe a few times, and while it tasted good, I can never get it as thick as the video. Do you recommend adding yoghurt? I want them to look just like yours do!
Liz Douglas says
my bad Sammie! i actually updated the recipe recently to fix the oats-to-milk ratio, so it should turn out thicker now. no need to add yogurt unless you’re after it extra creamy. thanks so much for loving this recipe 🙂
Jill says
The flavor on this was great! I will definitely be making again. However, I followed the recipe as written but my oats did not come out think like yours. Is it the blending that will thicken it up or should I add less liquid? I have a nutribullet. I blended it maybe 20 sec. Thanks!
Liz Douglas says
hi jill, thanks so much for giving it a go. the oats to milk ratio was off at first but i’ve fixed the recipe now so it should turn out the way it’s meant to 🙂
Josy says
The blended oats taste fantastic, but I just can’t get your consistency. I added way more rolled oats but it was still very thin the next day. Could you check if the measurements for rolled oats and soy milk are correct? I will play around with your recipe a bit more until I get a creamy consistency aswell. Thanks for sharing Josy
Liz Douglas says
hi Josy, thanks for pointing that out! you’re totally right, the milk to oats ratio was off. i’ve updated the recipe now so it should come out super creamy. really appreciate you giving it a try again 🙂
Susan says
Just made this and it is AWESOME!!! I skipped the chia seed and added extra chocolate chips to stir throughout. I will be sneaking spoonfuls of it all day long.
Liz Douglas says
yummm! the extra chocolate chips sound like such a good swap. thanks so much for commenting Susan 🙂
Tine says
