Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step 1: In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey/maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Step 2: Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Make sure the peanut butter is well incorporated.
- Step 3: Secure the lid tightly on the jar or container.
- Step 4: Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours) to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
- 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.
- Step 6: Enjoy cold straight from the fridge! You can add toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or extra peanut butter if desired.
Notes
- Store 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.
- Elevate your oats with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of extra honey, and some sliced banana for a delightful flavor boost.
- To prevent a grainy texture, make sure your peanut butter is completely smooth and well incorporated before adding the remaining ingredients; you may need to use a little extra milk to help blend it if necessary.
