Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or preferred natural sweetener)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Start by adding 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds into a jar or bowl. These ingredients form the hearty base of your overnight oats and ensure a thick consistency after soaking overnight.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in 1/2 cup milk of your choice, 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. These soften the oats and add creaminess while infusing subtle flavor notes.
  3. Mix in Peanut Butter and Sweetener: Swirl in 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of your chosen sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. Stir well until the peanut butter is evenly distributed, providing richness and a touch of sweetness.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak up liquids and flavors, resulting in a smooth, ready-to-eat breakfast.
  5. Add Toppings and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the mixture well and top with your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for added texture and flavor before eating.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the perfect chewy texture; avoid steel-cut oats as they don’t soften properly overnight.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more or less milk based on your preference for creaminess.
  • Stir ingredients thoroughly before refrigerating to prevent clumps of peanut butter.
  • Prepare multiple servings ahead for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
  • Choose natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for healthier results.
