A rich, creamy, and protein-packed overnight oats recipe blending peanut butter fully into the oats for a satisfying and wholesome breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter (natural preferred)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, unsweetened preferred)
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (optional, can swap for coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix ½ cup rolled oats, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of salt until evenly distributed.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in 1 cup milk, ¼ cup Greek yogurt (if using), 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk or stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Adjust consistency: If mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to achieve a pourable but thick consistency.
  4. Transfer to container: Pour mixture into a mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Let soak for at least 6 hours, ideally 8–12 hours, to soften oats and chia seeds.
  6. Morning stir and serve: Stir oats well before eating. Add toppings like banana slices, crushed nuts, or extra peanut butter if desired. Enjoy cold or warm gently in microwave for about 30 seconds.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Warm peanut butter slightly if too stiff for easier mixing. Stir well before refrigerating and again in the morning to prevent clumps. Add a splash of milk if oats are too thick after soaking. Store leftovers up to 3 days in fridge; do not freeze.
