Overnight Oats With Peanut Butter for Breakfast
These peanut butter overnight oats are a perfect grab-and-go breakfast. They are creamy, filling, and so easy to prepare the night before.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Rolled Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Instant oats can get too mushy.
- Peanut Butter: Natural creamy peanut butter works best. Make sure to stir it well before adding to your oats.
- Milk Choice: Any milk works! Almond milk, soy milk, or dairy milk are all great options for your overnight oats.
What You Need for Peanut Butter Oats
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- Pinch of salt
⏱️ Time: 5 mins prep + 8 hours chill🍽️ Yields: 1 serving
How to Make Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Step 1: Combine Dry Stuff
In a jar or a small container, add your rolled oats, chia seeds (if you are using them), and a pinch of salt. Give them a little shake to mix.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in the milk, add the creamy peanut butter, and the maple syrup or honey. Stir everything together very well until it is fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Chill Overnight
Put a lid on your jar or container and place it in the fridge. Let it sit there for at least 8 hours, or ideally, overnight, so it can thicken up.
Step 4: Enjoy Cold
In the morning, give your oats a quick stir. If they seem too thick for your liking, just add a small splash more milk. Enjoy it straight from the fridge!
📝 Final Note
You can add sliced banana or a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips just before serving for extra flavor and sweetness.
Peaches And Cream Overnight Oats for a Sweet Start
Get ready for a sweet and fruity breakfast with these peaches and cream overnight oats. They taste like summer in a jar, perfect for a quick morning meal.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Fresh or Frozen Peaches: Both types of peaches work great! If you use frozen peaches, they will thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Greek Yogurt: This ingredient adds to the “cream” texture and makes your oats extra thick and rich in protein.
- Vanilla Extract: Just a little bit of vanilla makes a big positive difference in the overall “cream” flavor of the oats.
What You Need for Peaches and Cream Oats
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup diced peaches (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
⏱️ Time: 7 mins prep + 8 hours chill🍽️ Yields: 1 serving
How to Make Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats
Step 1: Mix Oats and Chia
In your chosen container, combine the rolled oats and the chia seeds. Stir them together lightly.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in the milk, add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir everything very well until all ingredients are mixed.
Step 3: Gently Fold in Peaches
Add the diced peaches to the mixture. Gently stir them into the oat base so they are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Refrigerate
Cover your container tightly and place it in the fridge. Let it chill overnight for at least 8 hours so the oats can soften and thicken.
Step 5: Serve Cold
In the morning, give your oats a quick stir. You can add more fresh peach slices on top before serving if you like.
📝 Final Note
For an even creamier texture, you can blend a small portion of the peaches with the milk before adding it to the oats mixture.
