Print Recipe

A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter and melty chocolate chips for a healthy, indulgent breakfast that’s perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based, unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup (60 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until peanut butter is mostly incorporated.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture over the oats and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure everything is moistened with a thick but pourable consistency.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in mini chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping later.
  5. Portion and chill: Divide the mixture into two 8-ounce (240 ml) mason jars or containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Serve: In the morning, stir the oats gently and sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top. Optionally add sliced banana or a drizzle of peanut butter.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Avoid overdoing peanut butter to prevent greasiness. Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add fiber. Use creamy natural peanut butter for smoothness. Refrigerate at least 6 hours, ideally 8-12 hours. Add reserved chocolate chips on top in the morning to prevent melting into the oats. Adjust thickness by adding milk or oats as needed.
