Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, or dairy milk)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Start by adding 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds into your jar or bowl, forming the base that soaks up all the flavors overnight.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk (or milk alternative), 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey), and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine and Stir: Pour the wet mixture over the oats and chia seeds, mixing thoroughly so everything is evenly coated and blended.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover your container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to let the oats soften and flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Add Toppings and Enjoy: In the morning, give your oats a good stir, then add any fresh fruit, nuts, or extra peanut butter on top before digging in.

Notes

  • Use thick, natural peanut butter for the best blend without settling.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste; start with less and add more if needed in the morning.
  • Avoid adding too much milk to prevent mushy oats; adjust for your preferred texture.
  • Prep multiple jars at once (3-5 servings) to simplify busy mornings during the week.
  • Use rolled oats (not instant) to maintain texture and avoid overly soft oats.
