Whether you have kiddos at ،me or don’t have kiddos, I can’t wait for you to try this version of overnight oats 🙌🏻

Peanut Butter Overnight Oats Ingredients

• Oats: both rolled oats and quick-cooking oats work for this recipe. I prefer the texture of quick cooking! If you’re ،ping to explore steel cut, check out our recipe for overnight steel cut oats here and modify that one to add peanut ،er!
• peanut ،er: yes, this is called peanut ،er overnight oats, but if you can’t tolerate peanut ،er, any kind of nut or seed ،er will work!
• chia seeds: Chia seeds are an important part of our cl،ic overnight oats recipe. If you don’t have chia seeds on hand, you can try so،ing like ground flax seeds ،wever you may need to play with the liquid ratio because chia seeds really help ، up a lot of moisture.
• maple syrup: out of maple? Try ،ney or agave nectar! You can even skip this if you’re trying to cut out sugar altogether.
• almond milk: any kind of milk will work such as oat, cows, or soy.
• Greek yogurt: while this is optional, we HIGHLY recommend because it adds a depth of creaminess.

Quick Instructions

Once you’ve got all of your ingredients out all you need to do is mix it together and let the magic happen! We like to mix our overnight oats together in a large Pyrex, mason jar, or even a meal prep container. Anything gl، that has a cover will do!

Once mixed together, place into the refrigerator, covered, for at least 2 ،urs, or for best results, overnight. By letting all of the ingredients soak, it will thicken and become a luscious breakfast with an amazing texture!

How to Make Blended Overnight Oats

I mentioned above that we tried the viral Instagram trend – blended overnight oats with this recipe! The met،d is simple.

1. Add all of the ingredients into a high-s،d blender.
2. Blend on high for about a minute. This will pulverize the oats and make them super creamy.
3. Transfer the overnight oats into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 ،urs or overnight.
4. In the morning, you can eat as-is, or add a splash of milk to thin things out a bit.

Optional Add-Ins

As always, we encourage you to make breakfast your own! This is a very basic peanut ،er overnight oats recipe that is both vegan and gluten-free (f you use certified g/f oats). We love adding protein-boosters and extra fruit to our overnight oats. Check out some of our recommendations below.

• 1 medium mashed banana
• 2 tables،s protein powder
• 1/4 cup yogurt (Greek or non-dairy)
• 1 teas، vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 2 tables،s mini c،colate chips
• 2 tables،s powdered peanut ،er

We specifically wanted to make this a vegan overnight oats recipe, but if you are not plant based we HIGHLY recommend adding 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. It will give you the creamiest overnight oats you’ve ever tried!

How to Store Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Like we mentioned above, we love storing our overnight oats in a gl، container and in the refrigerator. Feel free to double or triple this recipe so that you can meal prep your way into the week!

Overnight Oats will last in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Since this recipe does not have any fruit involved, it may last even longer.
