Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (dairy, almond, oat, soy, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: Start by placing the old-fashioned oats and chia seeds (if using) into a jar or bowl. Stir well to ensure even soaking overnight.
  2. Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, then add peanut butter, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture looks creamy.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
  4. Stir and Serve: The next morning, stir the oats well. Add any desired toppings such as fresh fruit, chopped nuts, or an extra drizzle of peanut butter before enjoying your breakfast.

Notes

  • Use natural creamy peanut butter without added sugars for best flavor and health benefits.
  • Choose any milk or milk alternative based on your dietary preference.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener to taste, starting with less.
  • Add crunchy toppings like nuts or granola just before serving to maintain their texture.
  • Prepare multiple servings at once for convenient make-ahead breakfasts throughout the week.
