Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 358kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup milk dairy, almond milk, etc.
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- sprinkle of ground cinnamon to taste
- For serving: sliced banana, strawberries, blueberries, chopped peanuts, etc.
Instructions
- Combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a bowl or mason jar. Stir until everything is well combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).
- To serve, stir oats again and top with your desired toppings. I like to eat my overnight oats cold, but you can warm them in the microwave you prefer them warm (heat them before adding fresh fruit).
- I usually make these one day ahead, but if you want to make a bigger batch, the oats can be stored for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Notes
- If you need the overnight oats to be gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
- Recipe makes one serving but can be scaled up to make a bigger batch of oats.
- Dairy-Free: Use nondairy milk. Either omit the yogurt (the oats will still be creamy and delicious without it) or use a nondairy yogurt.
- Almond Butter: Swap almond butter for the peanut butter.
- Add Peanuts: Chopped peanuts would add delicious crunch! Add them right before serving, to retain their crunchy texture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: It’s hard to beat the peanut butter and chocolate combo!
