Equipment

  • high speed blender
  • Mixing bowl and spoon
  • Two glass jars

Ingredients
  

Optimized Cookie Dough Oats Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1.5 Tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt omit if using cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese or plain Greek yogurt If using cottage cheese, blend until completely smooth first.
  • 1 - 1.5 cups milk Adjust for preferred thickness; use less if using whey protein.
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup Adjust for more or less sweetness
  • 1-2 Tablespoons almond butter or cashew butter Use room temperature to ensure smooth incorporation.
  • 1-2 Tablespoons chocolate chips Use mini chips for higher distribution.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Build Protocol

  • If using cottage cheese, blend it until completely smooth first. (Omit this step if using Greek yogurt).
  • Combine all of the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips in a high-speed blender and blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth, ensuring all solids are mechanically broken down.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spoon or spatula. Do not blend the chips to preserve their textural integrity (Add-In Preservation Protocol).
  • Divide the smooth batter evenly into two jars.
  • Add lids and store overnight in the refrigerator (minimum of 6 hours for proper hydration).
  • In the morning, check the thickness. Add a small amount of extra milk if needed to adjust consistency to your preferred dough-like texture, add any other desired toppings, and enjoy.

Notes

The blended powerhouse configuration (using high-speed blending) is recommended over the non-blended version for the superior, dense, dough-like texture. If using a whey protein powder, start with 1 cup of milk, as whey absorbs less liquid than casein or plant-based proteins. Taste the blended base before folding in the chips to make any final adjustments to sweetness or salt levels.
