Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Peanut Butter Overnight Oats – a delicious quick and easy healthy breakfast. The perfect on the go breakfast that will keep you powered up throughout the day.
Hi, it’s Jane from Baking-Ginger. Today I am sharing one of my new breakfast obsessions, overnight oats. I am a total breakfast addict, but it can get so boring so quickly.
After eating plain old oatmeal every day for weeks on end, one does tend to get a little sick and tired of it. But at the same time, you need something that is healthy, and quick and easy to make because nobody has time in the mornings right? And so I have discovered the beauty that is overnight oats. These Peanut Butter Overnight Oats in particular.
They are so easy to make, all you have to do is mix all the ingredients together, pour it into a glass or jar, pop it into the fridge and bam! That’s all it takes. The next morning your breakfast is there waiting for you in all its peanut buttery glory. I often make a few of them so that I have two or three days worth of breakfast. That’s at least one meal of the day done and dusted and I don’t have to stress about making something healthy and delicious every morning.
This Peanut Butter Overnight Oats recipe is pretty much one of the most delicious healthy breakfast recipes that I have had in a while. It’s probably because it contains peanut butter and chocolate chips. I mean who wouldn’t love peanut butter and chocolate for breakfast right? Plus, it is packed with protein, fibre and antioxidants. You can easily switch it up a bit, add some nuts, swop out the peanut butter for almond butter or add a few strawberries. Either way it is always delicious and easy. Pretty much thee most perfect breakfast.

Do you cook the oatmeal first?
Nope! :)
The soak overnight and get delicious and creamy without cooking.
This looks and sounds delicious! Do you eat it cold or warm it up?
Eat it cold. :)
Does it need to be almond milk, or can it be regular skim?
You can use regular milk!
These looks so great! Do you have any approximate nutrition info?
I don’t, but there’s a lot of websites that will easily convert it over for you! :)
If it makes enough for 2 servings and you have put them into 2 containers, will it last in the fridge for the second day/second serving?
Yes! It might be a little dry, just check it before adding the additional milk, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. :)
Do you know how many calories it is? Andprotein? :)
Hi Courtney! Unfortunately I don’t. I know there are some great websites to help count the calories and protein!
Could you use this with regular milk?
I think it would still work great!
Hey folks, I just prepped these for tomorrow and the next days breakfast for my wife and myself. I doubled up the quantities, and halved the dark chocolate. I used organic runny honey instead of sugar, and I added 125g of organic raspberries to the top of each jar with 12.5g of chopped & toasted hazelnuts too. Without adding anything to this in the morning, it works out at 710 Calories per jar providing I haven’t messed up with my quantities when entering it into the MyFitnessPal app. Hope this helps. .
Actually, that’s a lie, it was 125g of raspberries split evenly over each jar 😂
Thanks for sharing John! Sounds delicious. :)
Hi I’m glad I found out this morning breakfast but I wonder could I Switching the chia seed with Flex seeds instead
I think that should work great! :)
Hi! I came across this on Pinterest tonight and made it for our breakfast tomorrow morning. Sounds so delicious! Can’t wait to try it! I used a little cinnamon in place of the sugar and 86% dark choc bits as we’re trying to steer clear of sugar where we can.
Hope you enjoy! :)
