Peanut Butter Overnight Oats (5 Ingredients!)

Oh. Em. Geeeeeee! After trying repeatedly (and unsuccessfully) for an easy, make-ahead breakfast with chia seed pudding – I decided to try overnight oats, and used this recipe. SO DELICIOUS! I prepped it last night and just polished off my serving, wishing there was more.

Not being a huge breakfast fan, I can’t say thank you enough for something yummy, vegan, easy, and healthier than SAD options.

I’ve just washed my mason jar and making another ready to go for tomorrow. ?

Dana – I have tried several overnight oat recipes but nothing compares to this one! It’s delicious, filling and so easy to make.
I added sliced strawberries this morning and it was perfection. Can’t wait to have my second jar of happiness tomorrow morning!

Thanks for the great recipe!

Soo good! I also added some cocoa, as we love chocolate flavor. My kids and I devoured it, not just for breakfast but also enjoyed it as a dessert. My daughter is asking to make more for tomorrow, and why not. It’s simple and heaLthy! Thank you for the recipe!

This recipe is delicious! I only let myself eat it on days I bike into work because of the higher calorie count, but when I do it easily keeps me full until 1:00 lunch – even with the workout!

As someone who is not a fan of oatmeal, I am loving this recipe! The first time I followed your recipe and now I just omit the maple syrup to save some calories. It tastes great! Now I add walnuts, cinnamon powder and flax seeds. Thanks for any easy recipe!

Made these for my husband. He loved them and so did I. We used crunchy peanut butter for a nice crunch. I whisked my ingredients so I didn’t have a swirl. Topped it with half a banana in the morning. It’s a keeper. Thanks for this great breakfast recipe.

This is the first overnight oats recipe I’ve ever done, and there’s no need for me to ever try another! My whole family lives it. Personally, the chia seed level makes it too thick and sometimes gummy for me, so I use Trader Joe’s Ancient Grain mix instead, which includes some chia seeds plus lots of other goodness.

These are fabulous! The only thing I would add would be flax hull lignans (a powder of extracted lignans from the flax seed shell that show in trials to increase your CD4 counts – the measurement of your immune system). I add it to all my breakfast type foods. They also convert to omega 3’s in your gut. That, added with the nutrition of the chia and I feel like I’m eating super power food in the morning!!!! The peanut butter is a decadent addition to taste here too! Thanks for this recipe!

This is so easy and awsome! Tasty and filling. I substituted macadamia nut milk and honey. So many possibilities with overnight oatmeal.

This was my first overnight oat recipe, and it did not disappoint. I followed the recipe except for substituting the milk for 1% and added a tablespoon of honey in the morning. It was simple and delicious! Thank you

OMG!!! I used rice milk rather than almond but it was still sooooo delicious!!!

It is absolutely amazing! I made it last night and it is delicious. I love it! And it might hold my energy up during my training.

This was delicious! Thank you! I added sliced bananas and sunflower seeds. Perfect consistency.

Made this with quick cook steel cut oats- ohhhh myyyy I just got done licking my tiny little mason jar clean!!! Yum!!

This was my first time making overnight oats. Delicious! I made one with peanut butter and one with almond butter so my husband and I could each try one. It is so filling and tasty. Thanks for another great recipe. I am going to try and make it for my 8 year old who will only eat instant oatmeal. Hoping he will like this much better.

I made this last night…was my first time trying Overnight Oats…amazing!! Thank You!!

I made this last night with 1% cows milk because that’s what I had on hand and it was fantastic this morning! I also added some mini choc chips along with my banana because I’m fancy like that. Thank you so much!

I tried this for breakfast today and it was delicious – thanks for the recipe ! I only used 1tbsp of pb as 2 seemed a bit much, also didn’t have any maple syrup so topped with mixed berries and chopped apple and it was yum!

Came across this recipe after a Google search after a visit to a new brunch place where the overnight peanut butter oats blew my mind. I tried this but used coconut and almond spread and it was just as tasty – thank you, my breakfasts have now been transformed!

This recipe is phenomenal! I was skeptical about making overnight oats since I love warm, cooked oatmeal but I’m obsessed with overnight oats now.

I’ve never tried overnight oats before, but I had all of the ingredients (save for the peanut butter) at home and your recipes are always wonderful, so I gave it a shot. However, at around midnight, I couldn’t fall asleep and went to the kitchen to make homemade peanut butter from a packet of unsalted peanuts using your nut butter recipe, and added a tablespoon to the jar already in the fridge. Boy oh boy was it worth it! As much as I adore your cinnamon buns, this has become my new favorite breakfast recipe <3

Amazing! I was dubious about “cold porridge” the whole overnight oats thing wasn’t something I thought I’d like. But. This is fabulous!
I added a teaspoon of cacao powder and its like chewy chocolate heaven. Perfect for a 6am Monday pick up!

Soooo good! I’ve eaten this for breakfast every day this week, with banana on top, and it keeps me full for hours. I’m going to try adding some grated carrot to it. Thank you for the awesome recipe!

OMG I’ve tried different overnight oats, but this is by far my FAVE!! :)
I added goji berries and cacao nibs as well – so yummmmmmy!!!

I’m regretting leaving half of what I made at home now :( This would be a good mid morning snack!

Thank you so much! :)

You have saved my breakfast! Currently studying abroad in Shanghai, China and have been struggling to stay vegan over here since they cook a lot of vegetables in animal fat :( or use meat to flavor vegetable dishes. Definitely skeptical about buying street food, and food from the stores since at times I literally have no idea what’s in the product. Finally managed to convince my stay at home mom to let me make my own food, so I searched the local foreign food market and was able to find all these ingredient (minus Chia Seeds) and make this one morning. So delicious! Looking forward to trying other overnight oatmeal!

This recipe was perfect!! I made a few changes based on what i hand on hand and since I am watching my sugar intake. I used coconut milk instead of almond milk, used dark brown sugar instead of the maple syrup and added blueberries! I think this will be my go-to breakfast! Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks for the tasty recipe! I used chocolate almond milk and almond butter. It tasted like an oatmeal no bake cookie!! Even my no eating oatmeal husband said it was tasty and asked how I made it!! Score! I added some walnuts, raspberries and blueberries to top it off! Delicious! Thanks again!

We tried a different recipe a few days ago with more chia seeds and no peanut butter and it was so bland. This bowl is amazing, the peanut butter pieces you get every few mouthfuls are great.
Might have found a way to get my partner to eat breakfast!

It is midnight and I am up making these overnight oats, because I forgot my little boy requested this for his birthday breakfast. I don’t want to disappoint him, plus I’m ecstatic he likes them. My whole family loves these oats and that says a lot with my picky eaters. Thank you so much for the recipe!

I just made these overnight oats last night (my first time doing overnight oats at all) and I was skeptical, because of the few ingredients and small ish looking mason jar I had, and I must say I was pleasantly suprised this morning when I ate them, and it filled me up AND it was delicious! I used agave maple blend syrup and regular old skippy chunky peanut butter (that is what I had on hand :/) and it was great! Will make again, especially for my husband who is always rushing to get out in the morning before work, and eats oatmeal and blueberries every day. Thank you! It definitley makes oatmeal not quite as boring. Will try other recipes too.

This is AMAZZZZZZING! I woke this morning super excited that this yumminess was in my fridge and I am enjoying it as I type this!! Delicious in every aspect and sooooo creamy!! <3

10/10 for this recipe! I feel full and ready to get my day on. I def recommend with strawberries!!

Texture a little different first bite but holy cow good and easy to make!

Delicious recipe! I love it! :)

I love this recipe and make it at least once a week. I don’t use any maple syrup and change up the nut butters, when I make it. It’s so good and worth a try.

Loved this recipe! So simple and tasty :)

Tried this last night (made 1 extra). Loved it and ate the extra one for dinner! Already made a second batch for tomorrow. It is my new favorite food jam. It was especially good with Almond-Coconut blend milk! ????

This was my first foray into the world of “overnight oats.” Im not a hot cereal fan, but desperately needed a nutritious, fast breakfast. I was super pleased with the results, although I did add a tiny bit more almond milk after about 4 hours because the mixture looked a little dry despite having pushed the oats into the milk mixture like the recipe states.
I will definitely be making this again though!

I like it better w Almond Butter .. natural PB is too thick and yuck. I also replace maple syrup w honey. so gooddddddd!

I have experimented A LOT with overnight oats. I’ve tried all kinds of crazy recipes with random ingredients; pureeing fruit to make smoothies to mix in with the oats, adding all kinds of expensive nuts and things, and honestly not one of them has been as good as this one! Proof that simple sometimes really is best. I make this recipe all the time and I love to top with strawberries and ground flaxseed. SO delicious!!! The swirls of peanut butter are absolutely heavenly. Thank you for the great recipe!

This was so awesome! I had never tried overnight oats before and so I was kind of worried about how it would taste. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone, super easy to literally just throw everything into a mason jar, pop in the fridge and bam! Instant to-go breakfast the next morning. I brought it to work with me and it was perfect to eat while doing work — and so tasty and filling! Amazing!!

These are amazing! I changed up the butters and sweet ingredients to get different options. Currently eating a Peach Cobbler concoction with sunbutter (kept the maple) and peach fruit spread as a topping. I have a Nutella and Strawberry one in the frig for tomorrow. Thank you!

This is a great recipe. I don’t like chia seeds so I add 5 or 6 whole almonds in each cup instead. It’s delicious!
Thanks Dana!

This was a great recipe. The oats looked a little dry in the morning but tasted great. I like the addition of Chia, gives it a good texture. My only mod would likely be to cut the amount of PB in half, I think it was a bit much for 1 person in the AM. Maybe use a scant 1/2 cup instead of a full 1/2 cup of oats as well.

Other than that, perfect!

I’ve been eating this daily for two weeks. Instead of using sweetener I use half a banana mashed up and it adds just the right amount of sweet.

Amazing!!! I tried another overnight oats recipe last week and it wasn’t so delicious. I tried this for Monday morning and added a scoop of Greek yogurt in top with some strawberries, raspberries and sunflower seeds and it was so good! Thanks for sharing.

It was delicious! Thanks for sharing!

This is my go to overnight oats recipe. I only use 1tbsp of the natural peanut butter or sometimes sub raw almond butter. So easy to throw together while I am getting supper ready and grab from the fridge on my way out the door in the morning.

AMAAAZING! Seriously SO good. One of my absolute favorite breakfasts and my kids love it too! Thank you!!

I added half a teaspoon of cocoa powder…..SO delicious!! Also, I only had steel cut oats and it was good. Thanks for the recipe.

Love these oats!! Just made some tonight. Can’t wait for breakfast! So delish!!

These overnight oats were delish!! I will be making them again. Can’t go wrong here.

This might actually be my favourite homemade breakfast ever! I make it every Friday night to eat after my long run the next morning. It’s delicious and completely filling. Although the suggested toppings are great, I’ve started topping it with chopped apples and it’s crazy good. Peanut butter and apple might be one of the most underrated pairings

I made this last night and its the best I have ever prepared! Thanks so much for the recipe

Made for the first time and am writing this as I glance at my empty bowl. This was very tasty and satisfying. I followed the recipe with the exception of using walnut milk. Topped the bowl with berries, coconut, a little granola and a dash of cinnamon. Thanks for the recipe, will make again.

SO.GOOD. Tastes like cookies for breakfast, but not so sweet that it will make your tummy hurt. Thanks for such a yummy, easy breakfast recipe!

I made this last night and ate it this am (with my toddler). I wish I had made more! It was seriously delicious!! 5 stars for sure!

Omg these are life-changing! I tried overnight oats once and just didn’t like them. Maybe it was the flavor? But the peanut butter really makes these things amazing! I warmed mine up and it was like eating warm and gooey peanut butter goodness.

ok… i’ve just put 2 bowls together with Chia powder instead of seeds. will add bananas in the morning. I’ll report back in 12 to 24 hours.

This was delicious! The calories were a little high for what I was looking for so I used 2 tbsp of PB2 (powdered “peanut butter”) mixed with 1 tbsp of water in place of peanut butter (I know, I know). I also used maple syrup instead of coconut sugar (per blogger’s first suggestion). I can’t wait to make more!

Thanks for this recipe, I’ve made this about 50 times since I found it. So delicious!!

These are so easy to prepare and are so good, it makes me look forward to getting up in the mornings!

Your peanut-butter overnight oats recipe is absolutely delicious!!

I needed a new mid-morning snack for work and so I gave this a try! I like it so much that I’ve made it every day this week!! YUM!
I reduced the PB to 1 Tbsp and the maple syrup to only 1 tsp since its just a pre-workout snack for me. Then I added a dollop of Blackberry Jam on top!! Definitely a great recipe!

I really enjoy this recipe. It tastes great and is so filling. If I forgot to make it the night before or just want a quick, last-minute breakfast, I will put all the ingredients in the blender, add the banana and some ice and drink it as a smoothie.

Love love LOVE overnight oats!

My one tip for making this: After combining the milk, PB, and maple syrup, microwave them in a container for increments of 10-30 seconds until the PB is melted. It helps the PB mix in with everything else.

Great recipes. But I will never understand the scads of voluminous introductory paragraphs when all we want are just the facts, Ma’am.

This was an excellent breakfast/snack. I found that the end result is a bit too rich for me, but with some fruit topping (looking at you strawberries) it is the perfect balance. It is quite nice for a post workout snack and if you worked really hard just add some protein powder. Of the various recipes I’ve tried from this website this is so far my favourite, and it is a bonus that it can’t be easier.

Fabulous!!! I used coconut milk instead. Also, I accidentally bought steel cut oats because I couldn’t remember which kind the recipe called for. Another reviewer suggested using less oats if you use steel cut- after making it according to the recipe, I do think probably using less would work better, like maybe 1/4 cup or so. Mine came out super thick, and I enjoyed them, but a little more liquid I think would be better.

I made this last night and am eating this morning in front of my computer at work. I used Cashew butter instead of peanut butter and coconut milk because I didn’t have any almond. This is yummy and filling! I usually have hot oatmeal but was surprised that the cold oatmeal is good too. I think this would be perfect for an on-the-go meal if you have to get off to work and hop on a train or if you were traveling. delish!

Made overnight oats once before and they were kinda awful (my greek yogurt did not jive well with the oats).

However, this recipe is fantastic! I’ve eaten this for breakfast almost everyday for the past 2 months, without getting tired of it. I use brown sugar as the sweetener, regular whole milk, halved the PB, and don’t add any additional toppings. Still super delicious and the chia seeds really make the texture even better.

Tried for the first time this morning! Very good! Thank you.
