Description
Delicious and easy to prepare overnight oats with chocolate and peanut butter flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2/3 cup milk of choice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 handful of chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Find a mason jar, old jam jar, or any bowl with a lid. If you have a fancy overnight oats container, power to you. Add 1/2 cup oats.
- Pour in 2/3 cup milk. If you’re not entirely awake, it’s fine if it’s a little less or more. Give it a swirl.
- Drizzle in the 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter. You can microwave it for 10 seconds to make it easier to mix.
- Sift in 1 tablespoon cocoa powder. Stir gently, and taste for quality control.
- Add 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and the vanilla. Mix well and mash any stubborn peanut butter clumps.
- Stir in a small handful of chocolate chips if desired.
- Put the lid on and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, grab a spoon and stir again. Top with extra peanut butter, banana slices, or enjoy as is.
Notes
- This recipe can be adapted with different types of milk or sweeteners based on personal preference.
- If you forget the vanilla extract, it will still taste great!
