Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for added fiber)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, combine milk, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to maintain their shape and add bursts of chocolate flavor.
- Chill: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours, preferably overnight, to let the oats soften and flavors meld beautifully.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Optionally, top with extra chocolate chips or a drizzle of peanut butter before enjoying your creamy, cookie dough-flavored breakfast.
Notes
- Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your preferred oats texture – less milk for thicker oats, more for creamier oats.
- For extra creaminess, use thick Greek yogurt or add a splash of coconut milk.
- If you prefer sweeter oats, increase the maple syrup or add mashed banana.
- Microwave the oats for 30–60 seconds if you like them warm.
- For a crunchy texture, sprinkle granola or crushed nuts on top before serving.
