    Peanut Butter Overnight Oats Recipe

    Happy New Year everyone!! During the week, Jorge and I mainly eat oatmeal for breakfast, so I thought it would be fitting to kick off a healthful 2020 with this recipe for Peanut Butter Overnight Oats.

    Peanut Butter Overnight Oats Recipe

    The process here is a simple one: stir together old fashioned oats, milk, peanut butter, yogurt, vanilla, chia seeds, cinnamon and honey, and then let rest in the fridge overnight. The oats soften in the fridge as they sit, so no cooking is required! The next day, top the creamy oats with more peanut butter, roasted peanuts, jam and coconut flakes, and you’ve got yourself a healthy, satisfying breakfast in a matter of moments!

    That’s the beauty of overnight oats. You get most of the work done the day before, so you can have a delicious breakfast with minimal effort the next day. You can even prepare a big batch and enjoy over several days throughout the week! Continue reading for the recipe.

    Overnight Oats Ingredients

    Most of the ingredients required for this recipe are pretty straight-forward, and you may already have them in your pantry! I used organic, natural peanut butter here (from Costco!), and the ingredients listed are just peanuts and sea salt. If you use a peanut butter with sugar in it, you may want to decrease the amount of honey you mix in. Perhaps start with 1 tablespoon, taste the mixture, and then add more if needed.

    Also, I’ve added some Greek yogurt here for creaminess, tanginess and nutrients. I’d recommend using full fat Greek yogurt, a great source for healthy fat and protein.

    Given that overnight oats have a soft, creamy texture, I like to add some crunchy toppings for contrast. Here, I’ve sprinkled on some coconut flakes and salted, roasted peanuts, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. Any nut would be good here!

    Jam is another fun topping. Strawberry, blueberry or blackberry jam would be lovely, giving this breakfast a PB&J vibe. During the summer months, you could sub out the jam for ripe, fresh berries.

        I told my husband that I had added peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon to my steel-cut oats and he was baffled. Your recipe came across my feed that same day so I showed it to him and said, “See right there, I am not alone.” It’s delicious. Another option is peanut butter, bananas, and cocoa nibs. Ordered that combo at a restaurant thinking it would be just ok and ended up eating the whole thing. May have had some chia seeds in it as well.
