Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
This is a delicious way to wake up with a treat that tastes just like a peanut butter cup.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing better than opening your fridge in the morning to a breakfast that is already made. These oats are creamy and filling, making them the perfect grab and go meal for busy mornings.
I love to use rolled oats for this because they get nice and soft while they soak overnight. If you prefer a bit more texture, you can use steel cut oats instead, but they will stay much chewier.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Place the oats, cocoa powder, and salt into a clean mason jar or a small container.
- 2
Add the milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the jar.
- 3
Stir everything together very well until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and the peanut butter is mixed in.
- 4
Place the lid on the jar and store it in the refrigerator for at least four hours, but preferably overnight.
- 5
Give the oats a quick stir in the morning and enjoy cold straight from the jar.
💡 Tips
You can store these in the fridge for up to three days. If you like toppings, add a few extra peanuts or some dark chocolate chips right before you eat. If the mixture is too thick in the morning, just add a tiny splash of milk to loosen it up.
