These oatmeal raisin cookie overnight oats taste like the real thing but are way healthier! Plus, they are so simple to make!

Healthy Oatmeal Cookie Overnight Oats

I have to confess,I got a little burned out on overnight oats a while ago. Yes, they’re a healthy make-ahead, grab-and-go breakfast option for busy mornings. And yes, they are super easy to make. But I have been eating them for what seems like forever … and I was just kind of done.

But these oatmeal raisin cookie overnight oats made me a believer again. They really do taste like oatmeal cookies but without the gluten, butter, and way less sugar. You can also make them dairy-free if you want by substituting Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt.

To Make Overnight Oats

These delicious overnight oats are made with gluten-free rolled oats, almond milk, almond butter, Greek yogurt (use a plant-based yogurt to make this vegan and dairy-free), raisins, walnuts, and cinnamon.

To make them, you mix all the ingredients together and let them sit in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours). This gives the oats enough time to soften a bit so they are more easily digested and to absorb all the yummy flavors!

In the morning, all you need to do is grab and eat.

Overnight oats also make a great post-workout, after-school, and/or mid-afternoon snack because they are high in fiber and protein and low in sugar.

I like to make my overnight oats in mason jars like these ones from Weck or these ones. But you can also just cover and refrigerate them in the mixing bowl you made them in. Just scoop out what you want to eat when you’re ready.

Overnight Oat Recipe Tips

  • MAKE DAIRY-FREE: Sub out the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt
  • ALLOW TIME TO SET: These need at least 6 hours to set.
