Instructions For Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

1. In a 12 oz jar, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of Celtic sea salt. Stir to combine the dry ingredients.

2. Add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the jar.

3. Pour in the milk and stir everything together until well combined. Make sure the peanut butter is evenly distributed.

4. Cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4-6 hours).In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If needed, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.

5. Top with peanuts for a crunchy finish. You can also add extra maple syrup and fresh fruit.

What types of milk would go with this recipe?

You can use any milk you prefer, whether it’s dairy, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Just make sure to choose an option that complements the peanut butter flavor for the best results. I love to almond milk for this recipe because it goes with the nut theme. Or for a very creamy version, you can try 18% cream.

Can I make this recipe without Greek yogurt?

Yes, you can skip the Greek yogurt if needed. To maintain the creamy texture, you can add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter or a splash more milk. Alternatively, a plant-based yogurt works well as a substitute.

How long will these overnight oats last in the fridge?

These oats will stay fresh for up to 4-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. The texture may thicken over time, so feel free to add a bit more milk when you’re ready to eat them. The best time to eat them is within 2 days for the best texture.

Can I warm these up?

Yes, you can warm up these overnight oats if you prefer! Simply transfer the oats to a microwave-safe bowl or leave them in a microwave-safe jar. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until they reach your desired temperature. You may need to add a splash of milk to keep the oats creamy as they warm.
