Description
Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats taste just like a Reese’s peanut butter cup in a jar — rich cocoa, creamy peanut butter, and hearty rolled oats come together in this 5-minute no-cook make-ahead breakfast. Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, this is the ultimate weekday morning treat.
Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter (plus extra for topping)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Toppings: extra peanut butter drizzle, chocolate chips, crushed peanuts, banana slices
Instructions
1. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together.
2. Add almond milk, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and the peanut butter is well incorporated.
3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
4. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
5. In the morning, stir well. Add a splash of milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
6. Top with a drizzle of extra peanut butter, chocolate chips, and crushed peanuts.
7. Enjoy cold straight from the jar or warm up in the microwave for 1–2 minutes.
Notes
Whisk the wet ingredients together first before adding the oats to ensure the cocoa powder and peanut butter are fully dissolved.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days — perfect for weekly meal prep.
Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
Swap peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter for a different flavor.
For a fully vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup.
Add 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder for an extra protein boost — just add a splash more milk to compensate.
Use chocolate almond milk instead of regular for an even deeper chocolate flavor.
Stir in sliced banana for a chocolate peanut butter banana twist.
