Combine the peanut butter mixture you just made and the rest of the ingredients (minus the toppings) in a mason jar.

Top Tips For Making Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Instead of peanut butter, you can use almond butter. The consistency and taste will be slightly different but still delicious!
For a vegan or dairy-free version, either replace the greek yogurt with a vegan substitute or an additional 1/4 cup almond milk.
If you don’t have a mason jar, you can use a glass or a small bowl.
