Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, soy, or dairy milk)
- 2 tablespoons natural or unsweetened peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
Flavorings
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Start by adding the old-fashioned rolled oats and chia seeds (if using) into a mason jar or airtight container to create the base for your overnight oats.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk or your chosen milk alternative, scoop in the natural peanut butter, and add a dollop of Greek yogurt. Stir thoroughly until the peanut butter is fully incorporated into the mixture.
- Sweeten and Flavor: Drizzle your preferred sweetener and add a splash of vanilla extract. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the oats.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal your container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the flavors and soften to a creamy consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, give your oats a good stir to combine any settled ingredients. Add optional toppings or mix-ins as desired, then enjoy your delicious, protein-packed breakfast.
Notes
- Use fresh, natural peanut butter with no added sugars or oils for the best flavor and nutrition.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more milk in the morning for thinner oats or less milk for a thicker texture.
- Sweeten gradually, starting with a small amount of sweetener and increasing to taste after refrigeration.
- Mix thoroughly to prevent peanut butter clumps and ensure a smooth texture in every bite.
- Prep multiple servings at once to have convenient breakfasts ready for the week.
