Moose Tracks Overnight Oats
Ingredients
For the Overnight Vanilla Oats
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, we used vanilla
- 3/4 cup unsweetened, plain almond milk, or more, if desired
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Fudge
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil, melted
For the Healthy Cookie Dough Bites
- 1/2 cup all-natural, creamy peanut butter
- 6 tablespoons ground oat flour
- 3.5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
For the Fudge
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and mix.
For the Healthy Cookie Dough Bites
- Place all of the ingredients into a medium bowl and mix to combine. The texture should be very similar to classic cookie dough. If it's too thick, add a little water by the 1/2 teaspoon. If it's too thin, add a more oat flour by the 1/2 teaspoon.
- Place a piece of parchment paper onto your countertop. Then, roll the dough out into a ball and place it on top of the parchment paper. Flour a rolling pin with oat flour and then roll the dough into a 1/4-inch thick slab. Optionally sprinkle the dough with sea salt.
- Place the rolled out cookie dough into your fridge to let set for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge and use a sharp knife to cut cookie dough into 1/4-inch squares.
For the Overnight Oats
- Add all of the ingredients into a medium-sized glass container. Mix to combine and cover. Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, check the consistency of your oats. If you like things a little less thick, add a few more tablespoons of milk.
- Serve with the fudge swirl and cookie dough pieces.
Tips & Notes
- If you don’t like your oats super thick, use 1 cup of milk instead of 3/4 cup. Note that you can always add more milk the morning off to thin things out!
- Not a fan of the texture of rolled oats? Blend up your oats in a food processor or blender to make them extra creamy!

I’m really excited to try this recipe!! However, My calories are not adding up the same. I halfed the recipe for the vanilla oats and my calorie total is 410!! And then another 185 for the fudgey swirl… now, I am using steel cut oats and i added 1/2 Tbsp of nutella to the swirl, but I am going to have to half what i’ve already halfed just to keep the calories under 300. I hope its filling enough!! How are you getting such low calories?
One possibility is that in one place she says that it serves 2…. but in the actual nutrition information it is based on 16 servings. I’m not sure which is right, but I found this recipe through Eat This Not That website and they calculated it as 315 (but you’ll need to add more because of the steel cut vs. rolled oats. I’ll be trying it with steel cut as well, but no nutella, and probably not nearly as much of the fudge topping.
I LOVE overnight oats! I have been eating them for over a year! At first I started with the plain greek yogurt/plain yogurt and I dont buy stevia or natural sugars/maple syrup becasue of the high cost. ANYWAYS, I have been using fruit flavored greek yogurt from Kroger and sometimes Yoplait greek 100 and it only has less then 10g of sugar. I really want to try this! Can you use Old Fashioned Oats?
Aren’t overnight oats the best! You for sure can use old fashioned! I actually prefer that to quick cooking 🙂
Hot damn these oats look amazing! I love the idea of your overnight oats week- can’t wait to see what else you cook up!
High-Fives to overnight oats…It has been SO SO SO long since I have made these, but with summer coming so soon it’s time for the cooler version of oats. Excited to see all the recipes you are going to share this week!
It’s suppose to snow here in Minneapolis tomorrow. Whomp.
YAY! I am obsessed with overnight oats!!
Girl, I was obsessed with Moose Tracks ice cream growing up and I LOVE overnight oats. Can’t wait to try this little combo.
Still obsessed with moose tracks 😛
Ooo I’m going to like this week- Hot oats are okay but overnight is where it’s at! Never heard of moose tracks though but I’m already a fan! I’d faceplant that fudge by the spoon. Or fork. Or spork.
You Australians are living under a rock!
I still haven’t tried overnight oats but have been meaning to for quite some time…this seems like the best way to start! Moose Tracks?! Please and thank you! Also, I’m definitely a morning person. Bedtime is 10 pm…10:30 is pushing it!
HAHA. go big or go hole, Nicola. Moose Tracks it is!
YES, YES, YES. I’m PUMPED for this week and all of the overnight oat recipes. And seriously – could have you chosen a better one to start with!? YUM.
And I’m not a morning or a night person. hahhahaha. I got to bed between 9 and 9:30pm and HATE having to be up before 8am. I’ve required a lot of sleep my entire life and having to sacrifice for our 4 month baby has been, no doubt, the hardest part of parenthood!
Doode you need your sleep and that is totally okay! I have NO IDEA how people can get by on 4 hours of sleep. I would be a walking BITCH 😛
Looks delicious and decadent! Yum!
