Hello 2025!

It’s been a second since I sat down and wrote a blog post, so let’s see if I remember how to do this. 

Forgive me if I ramble and grumble a little but I promise we will get to a recipe at the end of all of this, ok?

POV: January is a strange month. 

I personally feel a lot of contradictory feelings and energy; anyone else?

On the one hand, there’s this dizzying forward momentum. 

The increase of newcomers at the climbing gym, the annual goal setting we’re witness to via social media, the marketing campaigns promising, “New year, new you.”

On the other hand, there’s an unsettling quietness after a hustling holiday season. 

And maybe instead of goal setting, go getting, and planning all out 2025 vacations, maybe we just want to take a nap. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m still very much into the intention setting world. 

I indulged in a cozy journaling session to think back on 2024, the good, the bad, and everything in between. 

And then followed that session with another to look forward into 2025; to dream, manifest, and cultivate. 

Every year I choose a word of the year; something that sums up the goals I’m trying my hardest to make a reality.

Usually it’s also a word that I choose a little based on feeling, because if it’s the “right” word, I feel a tugging in my gut when I read it out loud. 

This year’s word that gave me butterflies, is SPACE. 

The word might have an entirely different connotation to you than it does for me, and that’s OK! 

For me, it encompasses a feeling of mental expansion, a physical move (that we anticipate making later this year), and a allowance of physical presence.

I’m working on creating this idea and mantra of space slowly but surely.

Kind of like easing back into recipe creation when it felt right. 

(I did promise you that this prologue would lead to something yummy, didn’t I?!)

I want to kick off our 2025 recipe calendar with something easy, accessible, and delicious. 

These Cookie Dough Overnight Oats have been fueling my busy mornings and I’m excited to share them with you. 

They’re made super creamy and cookie-licious with cashew butter, vegan yogurt, and dark chocolate chips. 

What You Need to Make Cookie Dough Overnight Oats

These Cookie Dough Overnight Oats are easy to make with pantry staples you probably already have on hand.

In fact, I whipped them up over the holiday break as an easy breakfast without hitting the store first. 

Here’s what you need:

• oats
• chia seeds
• unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
• unsweetened almond milk
• raw cashew butter
• pure maple syrup
• vegan dark chocolate chips

That’s it!

How to Make Cookie Dough Overnight Oats

Making these Cookie Dough Overnight Oats might be the easiest win of your year so far.

Add the oats, chia seeds, yogurt, almond milk, cashew butter, maple syrup, and dark chocolate chips to a mason jar.

Stir everything well to combine, then seal the container with a lid and place in the refrigerator overnight. 

Friends, that’s it! 

Swaps & Substitutions

While you can technically swap the cashew butter for any nut or seed butter in this recipe, I wouldn’t.

Cashew Butter is a key ingredient in this recipe because it gives the overnight oats that “cookie dough” flavor. 

With its mild sweetness and buttery smoothness, it’s the perfect creamy inclusion to make these ONOs taste like cookies.

You can sub any yogurt for the almond milk yogurt.

If you don’t have chocolate chips you can chop up a dark chocolate bar for the same effect.

Add nuts or seeds for some crunch if you’d like! 

Notes on Meal Prep

These Cookie Dough Overnight Oats were born for meal prep. 

This recipe serves two, but you can double or triple the recipe to make more overnight oats for the entire week. 

Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week. 

I recommend storing any toppings separately and adding them just before serving.

This way, your toppings stay crunchy and won’t get soggy. 

How to Serve Cookie Dough Overnight Oats

The next morning, divide the oats into two servings.

Add a bit more almond milk if the consistency is too thick.

If the mixture is too thin, stir in extra chia seeds or protein powder to thicken it.

Serve the Cookie Dough Overnight Oats chilled topped with more dark chocolate chips and your favorite granola.

It’s also great with some fresh berries or any fruit you have on hand.

Enjoy!
