Overnight Oats
Unlike traditional oatmeal, overnight oats are not cooked. Instead they are soaked in liquid, typically milk or a dairy-free alternative until the oats soften and absorb the flavors around them. They are a crazy simple breakfast idea that is easy to grab-and-go in the morning.
Tips and Variations

Vegan/Dairy-Free: Use plant-based milk and maple syrup.

OVERNIGHT CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1- 1 ¼ cup unsweetened milk of your choice I used almond, divided
- 2 ½ tablespoons peanut butter plus more for topping
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Toppings like chocolate chips flakey sea salt, peanuts, and additional peanut butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- Combine 1 cup unsweetened milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk to break apart the peanut butter and mix well.
- Pour wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, mix well.
- Transfer overnight oats into a glass storage container or jars. Refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning - Mix the overnight oats one last time. If the consistency is not as smooth as you’d like, add the additional ¼ cup of unsweetened milk and stir. This will give it a more “oatmeal”-like consistency.
- Serve warm or cold with your favorite toppings.
