Why You'll Love These Overnight Oats with Peanut Butter

• It's a deliciously nourishing recipe, made with ingredients readily available in your fridge. Not only are the chia seeds a tremendous source of antioxidants and other nutrients, but protein-rich peanut butter also contains healthy fats and other essential vitamins.
• The flavors in these chocolate peanut butter overnight oats are a match made in heaven, but the tastiness doesn't stop there. Top these overnight oats with fresh strawberries, sliced bananas, or other favorite toppings to make your own mouth-watering combination.
• It's a great make-ahead breakfast. Simply divide your overnight oats into mason jars before placing them in the fridge overnight, and you've got the perfect grab-n-go breakfast or snack for those busy mornings.

Ingredients You'll Need

• Unsweetened almond milk - to soak up the oats
• Greek yogurt - for added creaminess
• Peanut butter - smooth is best
• Oats - I prefer old fashioned
• Chia seeds - the ultimate superfood loaded with nutrients and other health benefits
• Chocolate sauce - optional, but tastes incredible
• Chopped peanuts - also optional for a crunchy garnish

How To Make Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

1. Prepare your milk. In a large bowl, add the almond milk, greek yogurt, peanut butter, and chocolate sauce if you are using it. You'll want to whisk everything together so it is nice and smooth.

2. Add the dry ingredients. Fold in the oats and chia seeds and mix well to fully combine everything together.

3. Refrigerate overnight. Cover the bowl using a lid or foil, and allow the oat mixture to soak in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, simply remove the lid and stir up the oats with chopped peanuts before serving them.

 Recipe Variations to Try

• For additional protein, you can add a protein powder to the oats mixture and use one of these high protein milk options and high protein yogurts.
• To make this a super low calorie overnight oats recipe, use one of these low calorie protein powders and a low sugar free yogurt.
• Use for a low calorie chocolate sauce to have that chocolatey richness without the sugar. I like to use this one from Walden Farms.
• Customize this recipe to fit any food restrictions by using plant based milks like coconut milk or oat milk, try one of these keto yogurts, or substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or another nut butter.

How To Store Overnight Oats with Peanut Butter

In the fridge: These overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Like I said before, mason jars are a perfect storage solution, just be sure to seal the jars with a lid before refrigerating. From there, simply stir up the oats when you are ready to enjoy them again, and don't forget about your favorite toppings.

In the freezer: The freezer is a great way to store these overnight oats when you want to prepare a few batches for meal prep. They'll last in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you're ready to enjoy them again, you'll want to transfer them to the fridge to defrost overnight before serving.
