Recipe makes approximately 2 servings

Equipment Needed

  • medium microwave-safe bowl
  • small silicone spatula (or small whisk)
  • 2 8-ounce mason jars (or similar airtight containers)

Ingredients Needed

For the Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

  • 2 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup almond milk
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (or ¼ cup almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 pinch salt (to taste)

Suggested Toppings (All Optional)

  • banana slices
  • melted peanut butter
  • cacao nibs

Instructions

  • Add peanut butter and almond milk to microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until peanut butter is melted and ingredients are fully combined. Be careful not to overheat or burn almond milk.
  • Add rolled oats, maple syrup, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and salt to bowl with peanut butter mixture. Stir well until ingredients are fully incorporated, then divide mixture evenly between mason jars. Make sure all oats are wet and submerged in liquid.
  • Let oat mixtures cool if needed, then seal jars and place in refrigerator. Chill oat mixtures at least 8 hours.
  • When ready to eat, remove jar(s) from fridge. Top with slices of bananas, drizzle of melted peanut butter, and sprinkle of cacao nibs if desired. Serve chilled.

Recipe Notes

  • You can actually skip the first step entirely if you want and just add all the ingredients straight to the mason jars. Use a long-handled spoon to mix everything together well, making sure all the oats are submerged in liquid, then refrigerate the oat mixtures overnight.
