Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mason jars or similar airtight containers

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old fashioned regular oats
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (see notes above to make dairy-free or vegan)
  • ¾ cup Naked PB powdered peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (see notes above and below)
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

Toppings (Optional)

  • sliced bananas
  • fresh berries
  • chopped nuts
  • coconut flakes
  • mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients (except the optional toppings) to a medium-sized bowl.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Evenly divide the chocolate peanut butter mixture into five glass jars or similar containers with a tight-fitting lid. Add your favorite toppings, then secure the lid.
  • Chill for at least four hours or overnight
  • When ready to enjoy, remove the lid, stir the overnight oats, and enjoy.

Notes

  • I like dividing this recipe into five servings to help me meal prep for the week. Using a 6-oz mason jar is perfect for a healthy snack.
  • For a single-serving breakfast option, cut the recipe in thirds, place all of the ingredients in a 1 ¼ or 1 ½ cup mason jar. Shake to combine. Refrigerate and serve as indicated above.
  • See the section above to make this recipe dairy-free or vegan.
  • Don’t like chocolate? Simply omit the cocoa powder.
  • I have made this recipe with skim milk, 2% milk, almond milk, and oat milk — all of them work very well.
  • If the oats are too thick after chilling, add a splash of your favorite milk before serving.
  • For sweeter overnight oats, mash a half of a banana into the overnight oats mixture or add extra maple syrup when preparing the oatmeal.
  • If you need a nut-free option, swap the Naked PB powdered peanut butter with your favorite protein powder.
  • If you prefer warm oats, and I know I do when it’s cold outside, remove the lid and microwave the mason jar of overnight oats for about 30 seconds.
