Take overnight oats to a whole new level of deliciousness with this thick and creamy Snickerdoodle Overnight Oatmeal Smoothie. Creamy and comforting, it’s got that stick-to-your-ribs feeling of a bowl of oats that’ll keep you satisfied for hours. Vegan, gluten-free, and packed with plant-based protein and fiber, this smoothie makes a perfect healthy and easy breakfast or snack!
Cookie dough for breakfast!! Kind of.
You can’t exactly scoop it up, plop it on a baking sheet, and bake yourself up a batch of cookies, but you can pour it in a glass (or jar, or bowl), grab a straw, and have a perfectly healthy and delicious breakfast or snack.
Which is to say that it’s basically a smoothie.
That tastes like [snickerdoodle] cookie dough.
With the texture of melted ice cream…
But “cookie dough for breakfast” is a way better opening line, no? 😉
Ok! So. This smoothie is basically a blended up bowl of oatmeal, which might sound a little strange if you’ve never tried putting oats in your smoothies before, but sounds perfectly routine if you have. Like… I can’t do non-oatmeal smoothies anymore. They just don’t feel substantial enough, and I always find myself missing the creamy doughiness that makes the oatmeal ones feel so comforting and dessert-y; aka perfect for this time of the year.
And even more perfect when they’re rocking that cinnamon sugar snickerdoodleness…
Can we please make that a word? Along with snickerdoodling, snickerdoodled, and snickerdoodlable? My spellcheck is going a little crazy right now, but I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to sneak some extra snickerdoodles in there. Best.word.ever.
Anyways! Oats. In smoothies. YES! Because not only do they work wonders on the creaminess front – they add a little bit of extra fibre and protein to help keep you fuller longer. There’s nothing worse than finishing a meal or snack only to start feeling peckish again 30 minutes later, but I promise you won’t have that issue with this gem.
It’s gluten-free, vegan, naturally sweetened and you could easily make it nut-free by subbing the nut butter for a seed/soy nut butter, and the almond milk for another non-dairy alternative like soy or rice. No matter which way you spin it, I have a feeling that you’re going to love the thick and creamy texture. I wasn’t kidding about the melted ice cream bit.

- 1 tsp (5 g) almond butter
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- The night before, add all the ingredients*** to the bowl of your blender and give them a stir to ensure that everything is well combined. Cover and place in fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- The next morning, blend until a smooth and creamy consistency is reached, adding more milk if smoothie is too thick. Transfer back to a bowl or glass, add desired toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
* Cook time refers to chilling time. ** Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you need this to be gluten-free. You can also reduce the oats to 1/4 cup (20 g) and add a scoop of your favourite protein powder. *** If your dates are a little on the drier side or you don[t have a high-speed blender, leave them out and let them sit in water until you’re ready to blend. Make sure to drain the water before you add them to the rest of the ingredients.

Do you blend it and then place it in the fridge or just mix ingredients and blend the next morning?
Amanda, sorry but I can’t rate this recipe. True Confession: I found your site after I Googled to find a recipe for coffee creamer that was healthy! Within 15 minutes or so, I’d gone over to smile,amazon.com and ordered your book about muffins, bars, and the like AND read your blog post about how to start a blog, AND then I started to cruise around to recipes. YOU’RE KILLING ME, AMANDA!!!!. I may never again have a chance to clean my house, do my laundry, take care of my rescue dogs, do my work (I work from home), etc. I could easily sit around all day and just look at everything and read as much as possible on your site. Lol. You have the greatest sense of humor AND it’s so very obvious that you care deeply for your customers and serving them! Even with those accolades, NOTHING topped getting to the recipe category and finding the category for Smoothies and seeing that there were at least 5 pages of healthy Smoothie recipes! Be still my heart!!! I came to a screeching halt when I reached this one…….Snickerdoodle Overnight Oatmeal Smoothie! OMG! I’d never even heard of putting oats in Smoothies, but seeing the nutritional analysis for this recipe, it makes perfect sense! As you mentioned, adding the oatmeal bumps up the fiber and protein and adds to the “staying power” (satiety) of the Smoothie. Please excuse my rudeness. I’m a 67yo retired RN (Army Nurse Corps, VA, and private and public healthcare sectors). After spending the past 5 years caring for my late husband, then each of my elderly parents in turn (all of whom are now deceased), I investigated my options for the next part of my life and decided to be a Health Coach. I got my Certification, started 1:1 coaching, and will be transitioning into a 1:many model of online health coaching of “Baby Boomers and Beyond” who have Pre-Diabetes to guide and support them to reverse their condition within 90 days. It will be fully virtual, with videos, worksheets, transcripts, and will have F2F coaching (via Zoom) at intervals, and will have a Community element via a private FB Group. I’m just starting to get that all underway and hope to launch it as a smallish Beta group in February 2020. The thought just popped into my head: I don’t know what the rules are for sharing of intellectual property (such as recipes) from time to time with my group participants? I’d be happy to give them a recipe without any revisions, without any change from your branding, and with including your name, name of website, and your full website URL. If there is a fee that needs to be paid (I guess like a Royalty payment because it’s all your work), I’d be happy to discuss that with you. I’ve overstayed my time here, so I’ll sign off. I just wanted to let your know how delighted I was with your style, your website, blog, recipes (and comments/discussions), book, and so forth!!! You are incredible! When I get my online program up and running, I do plan to add in motivational challenges with gifts, so I’ll come back here to see what else you have published/for sale. Happy Holidays to You and Yours!
Easy and tastes yummy, thanks for sharing the recipe!
★★★★★
Um, this sounds amazing! I love a good snickerdoodle cookie, so I think I will LOVE this smoothie. No time like the present, right? I think I need to head to town to get some of these ingredients so I can make it ASAP!
★★★★
I used mostly unsweetened vanilla cashew milk and just a bit of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I chopped up my dates before blending, and I blended the mixture in my food processor. The taste and texture were superb after sufficient blending. Before making this, I had never actually used dates to sweeten my smoothies, but I think I will need to use them more often!
★★★★★
This looks delicious. Do you think it can be made without the dates? I am allergic. 🙁
★★★★
For sure! They’re mostly just for sweetness, so you could add some maple syrup or honey and adjust to taste. Half a frozen banana would also work if you don’t mind a slight banana-y taste.
Thank you for this yummy recipe. I had to be creative, though. As I didn’t have all the ingredients at home. It really kept me satisfied till lunch time! Perfect.
★★★★★
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Habiba! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know 🙂
The texture of melted ice cream… um, SOLD. Making this tonight!
This is sooo yummy! Thanks
★★★★★
You’re the one who got me hooked on oats in a smoothie. My momma got me hooked on snickerdoodle everything though. 🙂
I blame my dad and his Cinnamon Toast Crunch addiction. That cinnamon sugar swirl, though…
I am totally down for all of the morphological variations on snickerdoodle. Snickerdoodlable is quite nice.
Snickerdoodling is totally a word. Even if I just had to fight with autocorrect to type it, lol.
I’m in love with the flavors and healthy ingredients in this smoothie. You are the smoothie/muffin/bread queen! 😉
Also, can we talk about that stunning pour shot? Gorgeous!
Aww thanks, lady! <3 But confession: I had to do it a few times after completely missing the glass the first time 😆
Your overnight smoothies always sound and look so delicious!
This looks absolutely delicious! I will be trying it for sure!
I hope you like it, Laura!
YES to all of the snickerdoodle things right now!! This looks perfect Amanda!
Thanks Marina! <3
Cookie dough any time of day sounds awesome to me! Your smoothies are the best.
