    Two tasty flavors combine to form the perfect combo for these peanut butter chocolate overnight oats. They're a tasty breakfast but also great for an afternoon or after-dinner snack!

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats

    The first time I heard of overnight oats I wasn't sure how I felt about the whole idea. I'm not a big fan of oatmeal.

    People rave about overnight oats so thought I'd give them a try. I'm so glad I did because they are soooo good!

    I now love overnight oats so much that I have made lots of different versions like Lemon, Strawberries and Cream, and Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake.

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats

    My take on overnight oats involves peanut butter and chocolate because those are two of my favorite ingredients.

    These chocolate and peanut butter overnight oats taste a lot like dessert without all the sugar. I add a little maple sugar for sweetness but these contain no refined sugar.

    It's a fun way to start the day and I bet kids would love these too.

    If you don't like peanut butter (say whaaat?) or if you are allergic, you can use almond butter or another nut butter. If you're allergic to nuts, try some tahini which is made with sesame seeds.

    Easy Morning Breakfast

    Matt and I are usually running around so much in the mornings that it's nice not to have another thing to think about. While I love my smoothie bowls and baked oatmeal I usually save those for the weekends.

    I can make my overnight oats the night before and just grab them and go the next morning - so easy.

    Overnight Oat Nutrition

    Nutrition-wise, these overnight oats are a great way to start the morning.

    Rolled oats are a good source of carbs, protein, dietary fiber, and iron. Cacao powder adds antioxidants, magnesium, and iron, while chia seeds add fiber and omega-3s.

    Studies have shown that oats & oatmeal have many health benefits including weight loss, lowering blood sugar levels, and total cholesterol.

    Ingredients
      

    • ¾ cup dairy free milk (you may need more if you like a thinner consistency)
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ tablespoon maple syrup (add more if you'd like it a little sweeter)
    • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or nut butter of choice), softened*
    • pinch of salt
    • 1 tablespoon cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
    • ¾ cup rolled oats (can use gluten free oats)
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

    Toppings

    • sliced bananas, nuts, seeds (optional)

    Instructions
     

    • I like to mix the wet ingredients (through peanut butter) in a bowl first to make for easier mixing.
    • Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
    • Transfer the mixture into a small mason jar or a container with lid/saran wrap.
    • Place in the fridge overnight or a few hours until oats are completely softened.
    • You can store the overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

    Notes

    If you keep your peanut butter in the refrigerator, it's usually easier to mix if you take it out of the fridge about 10 minutes beforehand so it's not as hard.
    You can substitute another nut butter like almond butter for peanut butter if you're not a fan. Or if you're allergic to nuts, you can substitute tahini which is made from sesame seeds. I have not tried tahini in this yet but I would add a bit more vanilla to the recipe if using tahini as it has a milder taste than nuts do.
