#BacktoSchoolTreats
Summer is winding down, and we are celebrating with #BacktoSchoolTreats hosted by Terri from Love and Confections and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures. All week-long 30 bloggers will be sharing 100+ fantastic recipes for both parents and kids, with breakfasts, snacks, desserts, and drinks to get you back in the school routine.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Overnight Oats
This Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Overnight Oats recipe is about as easy as you can get for a make-ahead breakfast! Flahavan’s Irish Rolled Oats are combined with milk, yogurt, almond butter, Dixie Crystals brown sugar, Taylor & Colledge vanilla bean paste, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt and cinnamon. The mixture is refrigerated overnight (or even less if you are using quick cooking oats!) and ready to go by morning.
I topped the oats with banana slices, a little more mini chocolate chips, and brown sugar. It is also delicious paired with fresh strawberries.
You can adjust the amount of brown sugar to taste or even substitute with maple syrup or honey (though the brown sugar really helps add to the cookie dough flavor). Same goes for adjusting the amount of mini chocolate chips to taste.

My favorite back-to-school treat would be a dessert, preferable something along the lines of a chocolate -peanut butter bar. You can’t beat that flavor combination!

I usually make a fruit version of overnight oats, but your cookie dough version sounds amazing, and I can’t wait to try it!
