Peanut Butter Cup Overnight Oats
Learn how to make overnight oats! These chocolate peanut butter overnight oats taste like a peanut butter cup for breakfast! Ultra creamy overnight oats are topped with peanut butter, chocolate shell, and sprinkle of sea salt. They can be made vegan, high protein, and gluten free and make a great meal prep! Feel free to double or triple the recipe for multiple days!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup organic rolled oats
- 3 tbsp THICK coconut yogurt or greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder or collagen *Can omit. If using, use a flavor you love as it'll affect the flavor of the oats.
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey *can also use monk fruit for sugar free option
- 1/2 cup milk, of choice *more if needed
- 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips or quality milk chocolate *see notes
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil *optional, but your chocolate shell will be harder to break if you omit it!
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients with a whisk until no lumps remain. Depending on if/the type of protein you use, you may need to add a little extra milk. You don't want the oats to be too thick at this point as they'll soak up moisture as they soak overnight. Add an extra tbsp or so as needed (don't worry about being precise, they'll turn out!)
- Pour the oats into your jar. You can let them soak for an hour or so until they thicken a bit or you can just add the peanut butter now.
- Place a lid or cover over the oats and let them soak at least an hour until they've thickened up.
- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate until smooth. I like to heat it in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the oats, spreading it out. I like to top mine with some flakey sea salt.
- Place back in the fridge for another 2-3 hours or overnight before enjoying.
