Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Toppings
- Sliced banana (to taste)
- Chocolate chips (to taste)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup. This forms the base mixture for your overnight oats.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth, and the peanut butter and cocoa powder are fully incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or cover the bowl tightly. Place it in the refrigerator and let it soak overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Serve with Toppings: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Top with fresh sliced bananas and a sprinkle of chocolate chips for added sweetness and crunch before serving.
Notes
- Use any milk alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk for dairy-free or vegan options.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to taste.
- Add nuts or seeds on top for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To make it vegan, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
