Ingredients
- Rolled Oats: 1/2 cup
- Milk (dairy or non-dairy): 1 cup
- Peanut Butter: 2 tablespoons
- Chia Seeds: 1 tablespoon
- Maple Syrup or Honey: 1 tablespoon
- Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: Pinch
- Optional toppings: Sliced banana, chocolate chips, extra peanut butter
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine rolled oats, milk, peanut butter, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and salt in a jar or container.
- Step 2: Stir all ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring the peanut butter is well combined with the milk and oats.
- Step 3: Seal the jar or container tightly with a lid.
- Step 4: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Step 5: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency.
- Step 6: Top with your favorite toppings such as sliced banana, chocolate chips, or an extra dollop of peanut butter before serving.
Notes
- Overnight oats stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prepping.
- If you prefer a warm breakfast, gently heat the oats in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, stirring frequently.
- Enjoy your peanut butter overnight oats straight from the fridge for a quick and easy breakfast, or layer them in a parfait with yogurt and berries for a more decadent treat.
- For an extra creamy texture, blend all ingredients together before refrigerating, creating a smoother, almost pudding-like consistency.
