Ingredients

For the Base

1 cup Rolled Oats Provides the ideal chewy texture for a satisfying experience.
1 cup Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy) Adds creaminess; opt for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
2 tablespoons Almond Butter or Peanut Butter Infuses richness, giving the oats that cookie dough feel; swap with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free variation.

For Sweetness

2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Honey Natural sweetener that brings a delightful balance; brown sugar can enhance the cookie dough flavor.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the dessert-like essence of your oats.
1 teaspoon Cinnamon Introduces warmth and depth to the overall flavor profile.

For Texture and Nutrition

1 tablespoon Chia Seeds or Flaxseeds (optional) Thicken the mixture while boosting nutritional value; a great source of omega-3s.
2 tablespoons Mini Chocolate Chips An indulgent must-have, making each bite reminiscent of cookie dough bliss.
1/4 cup Crushed Nuts (Walnuts or Pecans, optional) Adds an enjoyable crunch and complementary flavor.
