Overnight Oats are literally the perfect breakfast for those mornings where you don’t feel like cooking, cleaning, or maybe even thinking. You know the mornings where you roll out of bed and are still kind of sleeping – but unfortunately 100% awake – and the thought of making an actual breakfast seems like some sort of daunting impossible task? Yeah, Overnight Oats are perfect for those kinds of mornings.
For me, these mornings usually consist of me walking around my apartment with my eyes closed for an extended period of time pretending I’m not actually awake. However, this “sleep-walking” game usually ends when I have to get something together for breakfast. And to be honest I don’t mind slowly waking up while I make breakfast, it’s the cleaning up after I make it that’s just such a downer. Thankfully, there’s little-to-no clean up with this Peanut Butter Overnight Oats recipe – and the not having to cook part is just a big bonus!
I really love a few things in particular about these Overnight Oats…
First of all, I’m a peanut butter addict. So, I love all things peanut butter, and these oats don’t disappoint in the PB department. Next, I love how thick this Overnight Oats recipe gets without using chia seeds. Finally, the recipe isn’t sweetened with sugar, but honey, and there are few combinations in this world more delicious than peanut butter and honey.
- ½ Cup (40g) oats
- ½ Cup (48g) peanut flour
- ½ Tsp cinnamon
- ½ Cup (120ml) milk of choice
- 1½ Tbsps honey (17g)
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix well
- Transfer oats to a sealable jar
- Seal and store in the fridge for 6-8 hours

The book is a detailed weight loss guide that shows you step-by-step how to build a weight loss plan specifically for you.
One of the most frustrating things about dieting is hitting weight loss plateaus. That’s why Macros Made Easy also comes along with a spreadsheet to hold you accountable, and track your progress. The spreadsheet will also alert you when you need to make adjustments to your diet so you can continue losing weight, and avoid those annoying plateaus.
I started tracking my macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake) over 6 years ago – and I’ve lost over 70lbs because of it! Not only have I lost the weight, I’ve kept it off too. Plus, I didn’t eliminate any foods from my diet to do it- and neither will you!

April 18, 2018 at 9:05 pmBefore I can get some peanut butter flour, I want to try these and have some PB powder. How should I measure it?

April 19, 2018 at 1:34 pmTrish, sorry for the confusion, I just use the word “powder” and “flour” interchangeably. So what you have will work great!!
