This easy overnight oats recipe combines creamy peanut butter, rich cocoa, and wholesome oats for a decadent, nutritious breakfast you can prep in minutes. Perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or a comforting treat that feels like dessert for breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together rolled oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well, scraping the sides and bottom to ensure all oats are moistened.
  4. Dollop peanut butter on top and gently swirl it through the oats, leaving visible ribbons for texture.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips or berries if desired.
  6. Spoon the mixture into jars or containers, filling about 3/4 full to allow for expansion. Cover tightly with lids.
  7. Refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours, ideally 8-12 hours) until thick and creamy.
  8. In the morning, stir the oats and top with extra peanut butter, fruit, or cocoa powder. Enjoy cold or microwave for 30 seconds if you prefer it warm.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. For vegan, use plant-based milk and yogurt. Swirl peanut butter for best texture; don’t overmix. Add toppings after chilling for crunch. Adjust sweetness to taste. Oats keep up to 4 days in the fridge; add a splash of milk if too thick. Can be frozen for up to a month.
