Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Peanut Butter Overnight Oats are a delicious and satisfying make-ahead breakfast! With peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds, this easy recipe is packed with healthy fats, fiber, and protein to keep you full all morning. I love topping these oats with sliced banana, but they're also great with fresh berries.
Ingredients
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup milk dairy, almond milk, etc.
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkle of ground cinnamon to taste
For serving
- sliced banana strawberries, blueberries, chopped peanuts, etc.
Instructions
- Combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl or mason jar. Stir until everything is well combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).
- To serve, stir the oats again and top with your desired toppings. I prefer to eat my overnight oats cold, but you can warm them in the microwave if you like them warm (heat them before adding fresh fruit).
- I usually make these the night before, but if you want to make a bigger batch, the oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
If you need the overnight oats to be gluten-free, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
This recipe makes one serving but can easily be scaled up to make a larger batch of oats.
