Delicious peanut butter overnight oats recipe recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a jar or container with a lid, combine rolled oats, milk, peanut butter, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. If using, stir in the Greek yogurt.
  2. Step 2: Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps of peanut butter.
  3. Step 3: Secure the lid tightly on the jar or container.
  4. Step 4: Refrigerate overnight (at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
  5. Step 5: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they seem too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Step 6: Enjoy cold, straight from the fridge! You can add toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or extra peanut butter if desired.

Notes

  • Store your leftover overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a warmer breakfast, gently microwave your oats for 30-60 seconds, stirring halfway through, until heated through.
  • Top your peanut butter overnight oats with sliced bananas and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavour boost.
  • To prevent a gritty texture, make sure the peanut butter is thoroughly mixed into the oats before refrigerating; a little extra milk during mixing can help.
