Oatmeal Cookie Dough Overnight Oats

My favorite meal of the day is by far – breakfast! I think it’s because I LOVE fruit and oatmeal. Plus, I’m nice and hungry when I wake up in the morning.

With that said, you’ve got to try these oatmeal cookie dough overnight oats from a healthy lifestyle blog called Peanut Butter Fingers. With only 300 calories, this breakfast is jam packed with goodness…. whole grains from the oats, calcium from the milk, omega-3s from the ground flaxseed, and a serving of fruit, if you choose.

The name “cookie dough” also seemed to draw me in. The cinnamon, honey, and vanilla-flavored milk give you the illusion of eating something sinful like cookie dough. I think you could add raisins to make this breakfast taste more like a cookie.

Enjoy!
