These creamy no-bake chocolate peanut butter overnight oats are a delicious, protein-packed breakfast that tastes like dessert. Made with simple pantry ingredients and zero cooking, they’re perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (e.g., unsweetened almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons (48g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
  3. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry oat mixture. Stir well with a spatula until everything is fully combined, scraping the sides and bottom.
  4. Evenly distribute the oat mixture among four 8-ounce jars, filling each about two-thirds full.
  5. Drop about 2 teaspoons of creamy peanut butter into each jar. Use a butter knife or the back of a spoon to gently swirl it into the oats, leaving ribbons.
  6. Screw the lids on tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
  7. Serve cold or at room temperature. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk. Optionally, top with chocolate chips, extra peanut butter, sliced banana, or flaky sea salt.

Notes

For best texture, use rolled oats (not instant or steel-cut). Warm peanut butter slightly for easier swirling. Leave at least an inch of headspace in jars to allow for chia seed expansion. Oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days; do not freeze.
