Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: Mix the rolled oats and chia seeds in a jar or bowl to create an even nutritious base and consistent texture.
Add Peanut Butter and Wet Ingredients: Stir in the peanut butter until well distributed, then add the milk, Greek yogurt (if using), vanilla extract, and your chosen sweetener. Mix thoroughly to combine everything evenly.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
Stir and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the mixture well. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds, then serve immediately.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture that doesn’t become mushy.
Choose natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for a healthier option.
Adjust the liquid amount to customize creaminess or thickness according to your preference.
Mix ingredients thoroughly to ensure even flavor and texture.
Experiment with toppings like nuts, seeds, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey to enhance flavor and texture.
