Our Stovetop Cookie Dough Oats are made to taste just like cookie dough (thank you vanilla and maple syrup). My family loves this recipe because it tastes like dessert for breakfast and we love topping it with our no-bake cookie dough bites, too. Everything is made in one pot on the stovetop for easy cleanup. Plus, it’s made with wholesome ingredients so you don’t have to compromise on your goals! Kick those cookie dough cravings to the curb with this cookie dough oatmeal.

Simply combine all of the ingredients in a small sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and let simmer for 2-5 minutes until thick.

How to Make Oatmeal

How to Make Oatmeal: Learn how to make every variation of oatmeal (steel-cut, rolled, and quick-cooking) in every method (stovetop, slow cooker, Instant Pot, overnight, and microwave)!

Don’t have quick-cook oats? Use steel-cut oats or overnight oats instead! If you want to add a touch of decadence, add a tablespoon of almond butter.  If you’re not a fan of chocolate chips, add cacao nibs on top as a garnish instead! Want to add a boost of protein? Add some plain Greek yogurt or protein powder.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.  Add all of the ingredients into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir and enjoy. PS: I find that stovetop oats come out much more fluffy and delicious compared to a measly 60 seconds in the micro.
