A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter and sweet mini chocolate chips for a comforting, nutritious breakfast perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (almond, dairy, or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (about 32g) natural creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (about 30g) mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the peanut butter and milk in a bowl; whisk vigorously until smooth and fully blended.
  2. Stir in Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until creamy and fully incorporated.
  3. Add rolled oats and mini chocolate chips; stir gently until evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer mixture to a 12-ounce (350ml) mason jar or airtight container; seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. In the morning, stir oats gently; add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with extra chocolate chips or sliced banana if desired and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter for richer flavor. Whisk peanut butter with milk first to avoid clumps. Use rolled oats for best texture. Mini chocolate chips melt better than regular size. Refrigerate at least 6 hours for optimal creaminess. Store leftovers up to 4 days in fridge. Add a splash of milk before serving if too thick. Microwave peanut butter briefly if too thick for easier mixing.
