Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
A simple make-ahead breakfast of rolled oats, chia seeds, and peanut butter soaked in milk overnight for a creamy, ready-to-eat morning meal.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 45g
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter 16g
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds 5g
- 1/2 cup milk plus more for serving, 120ml
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey optional
- Optional toppings: sliced banana fresh berries, chopped nuts
Instructions
- In a jar or container with a lid, add the rolled oats and chia seeds.
- Add the peanut butter, milk, and optional maple syrup or honey.
- Stir everything together very well until the peanut butter is mostly mixed in. Some small clumps are fine.
- Secure the lid on the container.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Before serving, stir the oats. If they seem too thick, add another splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add your favorite toppings, like banana slices or berries, before enjoying.
Notes
The oats will be thick in the morning. A splash of milk helps loosen them to a spoonable texture.
For a smoother texture, stir the peanut butter with a little of the milk first before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Feel free to double or triple the recipe in separate containers for a few days of grab-and-go breakfasts.
