Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Oats Base
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter smooth or crunchy
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
Optional Toppings
  • sliced banana
  • chocolate chips
  • extra peanut butter drizzle

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly between two mason jars or airtight containers. Smooth the tops and seal tightly.
  3. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
  4. In the morning, stir the oats and top with sliced banana, chocolate chips, or an extra drizzle of peanut butter if desired.
  5. Enjoy chilled or warm it slightly in the microwave for a cozy breakfast option.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and yogurt. You can also swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter. Adjust sweetness to your taste by adding more maple syrup or a touch of stevia.
