Preparation
- Step 1 – Crush the Oreos: Place 3–4 Oreos in a small bag or between two sheets of paper towel and crush them roughly with a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass.
- Step 2 – Combine the base ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, add rolled oats, milk, and Greek yogurt (if using). Stir to combine. Add vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Step 3 – Add the crushed Oreos: Fold the crushed Oreos into the oat mixture. Stir until they are distributed.
- Step 4 – Chill overnight: Seal the jar or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Step 5 – Stir and check texture: In the morning, stir the oats. Add milk if too thick, or let it sit uncovered for 10-15 minutes if too thin.
- Step 6 – Top and serve: Top with whipped cream and extra Oreos, serve cold and enjoy.
Notes
For a lighter texture, skip the Greek yogurt. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
