Instructions
- Prepare the foundational mixture by combining rolled oats, milk, creamy Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and sweet honey in a sealed glass container.
- Incorporate rich cocoa powder and gently crush one Oreo cookie, mixing these ingredients thoroughly to create a decadent base.
- Add vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile and ensure all components are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Seal the container securely and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6-8 hours, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and develop a luxurious texture.
- After the resting period, remove the container and vigorously stir the overnight oats to achieve a smooth, consistent consistency.
- If the mixture appears too dense, carefully introduce a small amount of additional milk to reach the desired creamy texture.
- Garnish the surface with the remaining crushed Oreo cookie, creating a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
