A rich and indulgent yet wholesome overnight oats recipe combining chocolate and peanut butter for a quick, filling, and easy meal prep breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural, creamy or chunky)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy)
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add rolled oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together milk, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until well combined and peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  4. Transfer to containers: Spoon the mixture into mason jars or airtight containers and seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
  6. Serve: Stir gently before serving. Add toppings like sliced banana, fresh berries, nuts, or extra peanut butter if desired. Serve cold or warm for 30 seconds in the microwave.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid quick oats to prevent mushiness. Mix peanut butter with milk first to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey. Add chia seeds for thicker texture or omit for looser consistency. Store in fridge up to 4-5 days. Warm slightly before serving if preferred.
