Recipe Makes (Approximate): 1

Equipment

  • wide-mouth pint mason jar with lid (16 oz)
  • medium mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • rubber spatula

Ingredients

The Base

Optional Protein Boost

  • ½ scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons extra milk (as needed)

For the Jar

  • 4 Oreo cookies (crushed)
  • gummy worms (for topping)

Instructions

  • Add ⅔ cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ½ cup milk of choice, 1½ tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 pinch of salt to a medium bowl.
  • Whisk until completely smooth with no dry clumps of cocoa powder remaining.
  • If using mini chocolate chips, stir in 2 tablespoons now.
  • If using protein powder, add ½ scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder and whisk to combine. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons extra milk if mixture is too thick.
  • Pour oat mixture into a wide-mouth pint jar. Seal and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Right before serving, top with 4 crushed Oreo cookies and gummy worms.

Recipe Notes

Make it Dairy-Free: Use plain coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and any non-dairy milk. Check Oreo labels — standard Oreos do not contain dairy ingredients, but may be processed in facilities with dairy.
Make it More Grown-Up: Skip gummy worms and top with fresh raspberries and crushed chocolate graham crackers instead.
Storage: Keeps well sealed in refrigerator for up to 4 days. Always add Oreo and gummy worm toppings right before serving.
For Road Trips and Travel: Prep the night before, refrigerate overnight, then transfer to a cooler with ice packs in the morning. Pack Oreos and gummy worms separately.
