Peanut Butter Overnight Oats (5 Ingredients!)

Just started trying overnight oats, and it helps that there are so few ingredients that result in something delish, satisfying, and healthy! Followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of dicing a little banana and mixing it in w/ the other ingredients. Oh, and I used monk fruit granulated sugar instead of maple syrup. Thanks~my sis and I totally enjoyed this.

This recipe was delicious! It is my go to meal!

I love this recipe! It’s super customizable (I add some protein powder and different toppings every day) and now that I’ve made it a few times, it only takes me a few minutes to prep! It keeps me full for so long and is so filling – in a good way :)

This is absolutely delicious! This is definitely going to be my go-to overnight oat recipe. I made it per the recipe and enjoyed every bite. So yum!

Great recipe! I prep 2-3 servings at a time and eat throughout the week. I have an allergy to tree nuts, so I use oat milk. I also use honey instead of syrup, and I add in a little cocoa powder to make it chocolate peanut butter flavored!

This was easy and delish! I followed the recipe exact. Straight out of the fridge, it did come out very thick/pasty. I warmed it for about a minute, then stirred it and topped it with banana and it was perfect
– thick but no longer pasty. If you want it thinner, I think adding is some extra almond milk before you warm it would work perfectly. It is a little higher in calories than I want for breakfast, so next time I will probably drop the PB down to just one tablespoon as it was plenty Peanut Buttery. I used Bob’s Red Mill Extra Thick GF rolled oats.

Great recipe! I use only one tbsp of peanut/almond butter and one tsp of maple syrup. Also add some cinnamon. The next day I will add walnuts and some chocolate chips to make up for the less maple syrup ;) it’s soooo good. My husband loves it too!!! I could eat this everyday! Thank you!!!

Delicious! I made 3 on Sunday to eat for breakfast and finished them today, and made two more to finish the work week!

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, this was so delicious!! I used quick cooking oats, cause that’s all I had; but I just added a little more milk to thin it out and then heated it up in the microwave just fine. I also added like a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, added blueberries and crushed pecans on top, used Vanilla Almond nut butter and left out the maple syrup and added a pinch of brown sugar. Might not have been super healthy; but it was really good and very filling.

Life changing!!!

Soooo good!! I made it (honey instead of maple syrup) and add raspberries and dried cranberries for topping.

I really enjoyed these. Very filling and I even forgot the chia seeds. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing.

I tried this a few days ago and have been eating it for breakfast every morning. I love the flavor and how satisfying it is. I know this sounds kind of unhealthy for a breakfast, but I have been adding about one tablespoon of mini chocolate chips which makes it taste like a chocolate chip, peanut butter cookie, oat cookie. This is my new favorite breakfast recipe and thank you so much for creating this awesome recipe!

Holy smokes! I was seriously skeptical but this came out so yum. I added just a heaping teaspoon of banana jam (if you haven’t had it….you should definitely try it. It’s sublime). Breakfast for 5 in less than 5 minutes. Finding jars to hold these took way longer so I just used glass Tupperware. Thank you for sharing and being a really wonderful sister. She is lucky to have you.

Love this versatile recipe. I topped with granola from your Banana Bread Granola recipe. Looking forward to trying the carrot cake version.

Just made these last night and ate them this morning. I followed the recipe using almond milk and almond butter with maple syrup to sweeten and regular whole chia seeds. I found it to be super dry and gummy, not creamy at all. I added more almond milk and microwaved it, hoping to save it, but it was clumpy and still not creamy. I just don’t think there was enough liquid. I did like the flavour with the almond butter and maple syrup, but just not the texture at all, I’m sorry!

Absolutely amazing!!! Love this breakfast so much. My only modification is I use ground chia seeds instead of whole ones because I prefer the consistency.

So yummy and perfect consistency! I added some frozen blueberries and it didn’t effect the consistency. Thank you, this is my new go to breakfast. My entire family loved it cold or warm.

This is such a life saver! My daughter (1 1/2 years old) eats oatmeal every morning and with a baby on the way, this is a great way to make the mornings a bit easier on me.

I substituted almond milk with whole milk and will probably reduce the amount of peanut butter since it was pretty thick. It’s so good and I’ll definitely be stealing many bites ?

Great recipe and very easy to make! The best thing about this is that once you get all of the ingredients, you can make this for weeks with only having to get almond milk. So it is also a very inexpensive but filling breakfast. Added bananas and blueberries in the morning when I was ready to eat the oats.

I used old fashioned oats and Kept everything else the same and it was delicious!

It was so easy to make and yummy ! I added bananas on top :)

This was so good and it just took me 5mins to make, can have this everyday for breakfast :) Dessert for breakfast !!!!!!!!!!

I just made mine with banana and chocolate peanut butter and vanilla almond milk. Its a 10/10 for me.

I make this recipe all the time! I use raw almond butter and gluten free instant oats. Pre-measured packets of oats makes it even faster to prepare!

Delicious! I recommend going with Old Fashioned Oats over Quick Oats. This recipe is so good, and the peanut butter is the perfect touch.

so simple and SO DELICIOUS.

One of my favorite breakfasts! Even in the winter i find myself craving overnight oats instead of heated oats. I make it almost exactly as written, except I’ll add a touch more of almond milk and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg).

Usually will top with a banana, blueberries or frozen mixed berries(I’ll put those in the jar too & let them defrost over night).

I’ve made this so many times I felt compelled to let you and others know how simple it is to make, how delicious it is, and how filling it is! Thank you so much for this great recipe!!

Very yummy! I love this just as written, though over time I have changed the recipe to include 1 whole tablespoon of chia (just for convenience and speed), 1 tbsp pea protein, and 1 tbsp of flax. We also mix in some cacao and serve with fresh banana slices, and sometimes I omit the maple syrup and mash up a date in the bowl instead. I like a bit more protein since it is 6 to 7 hours between breakfast and lunch for me. I’ve tried making this with steel cut oats as someone else suggested, and those are a bit TOO firm for my preference. I like Bob’s Red Mill extra thick oats. Perfect for overnight oats. They stay chewy without being too firm.

This is my favorite overnight oats recipe!!! It is especially good with blueberries on top. I have found it also works using quick cook steel cut oats. It ends up with a chewier texture, which I prefer.

Hi
I could never imagine that oats could be eaten without cooking. Amazing idea and it tasted great. Thanks for this morning time save.

Second time making this recipe. Only thing I change is almond butter in place of peanut butter. Wholesome and filling for hours. Love it!

My favorite breakfast in the morning! It’s so tasty and keeps me full for 3–4 hours.

I start with peanut butter in the bowl, microwave it for 20 seconds to soften it, and then add the almond milk, sweetener, and chia seeds. (You still get yummy swirls of peanut butter, but it’s easier to stir around.)

In the morning, I add another tablespoon of almond milk, stir it up, and microwave a little over a minute.

I’ve yet to try the recipe with additional toppings—because honestly, these overnight oats are delicious and filling just as is—but I think adding a banana could be a nice touch!

I have never reviewed a recipe… but felt I HAD TO SHARE. This recipe is AMAZING!! I stayed full most of the day, and it tasted like no bake cookies… what more could you ask? :)

I will recommend this recipe to everyone I know.

I have made this recipe three times it simple and to make also very filling

I have made this recipe more times than I’d like to admit, sometimes with little variations just to change things up, and it has been phenomenal every time! We have a 3 year-old, a 2 year-old, a 1 year-old and one on the way (so overnight oats is a lifesaver for me)… and it is a HUGE hit at our house!!!

We actually made a batch this evening and our older two get a big kick out of helping in the kitchen. They were SUPER-EXCITED to assist in making their own breakfast for tomorrow morning – and to choose what they added to their own (dried berries this time). Like I said, we’ve made it A LOT and it’s always a favorite. So thankful you shared the recipe!!! :D

Dang! That’s one heck of a breakfast! I’ll definitely be making more tonight!

This breakfast got on top of my recipe lists!
It is absolutely amazing, super quick to make and delicious.
I swapped almond milk with regular full fat milk and added Sultana raisins.
Perfection!
Thanks for sharing!

Never been a fan of oats but I tried it for the sake of peanut butter, Since I love PB.. I tried it for today breakfast.. To my surprise we loved it (me and my husband) .. Absolutely delicious, and felt filling till 2PM!! Now I don’t have to eat the sticky sticky cooked oats for the sake of nutrition it has.. Great one..

Eating this as I’m typing the review!!
Amazing recipe didn’t change a thing and the consistency and texture is amazing.
Very yummy!!

I’ve made overnight oats before and they’ve always been pretty meh. These were delicious! My 14 month old gobbled it up too. I’m making more for tomorrow.

I didn’t have unsweetened almond milk on hand so I used regular milk, and I used honey as my sweetener! I decided to top it with bananas, and it was delicious!

Gosh, these tasted so good this morning. No chia seeds but everything else (more or less) the same. I put some sliced banana on top. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

This is a delicious overnight oats recipe and it’s now been put into my breakfast recipe rotation. Since I like a more liquid consistency I add a bit more almond milk in the morning. I used mini chocolate chips as a topping, because who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter for breakfast? Thanks for a great recipe!

I used agave syrup for my sweetener and it worked quite well. However, the oats were still pretty tough when I ate them the following day. I believe it was because they were in the fridge for give or take 6 hours. I would definitely recommend soaking longer. Soaking the oats by themselves on the counter overnight (1/2 cup steel cut oats, 1/2 cup water, probably closer to 10 hours) resulted in softer oats.

Hi!
I read this recipe last night and just couldn’t wait to go and shop for all the ingredients you’ve mentioned… so I got down to making it right away and it was wow. The (minor) changes were
I didn’t have almond milk so I used hazelnut milk.
I didn’t have maple syrup nor brown sugar, so I used a scoop of homemade apricot jam, made from fruits in my garden. Necessity is the mother of invention ;)
And I added slivered almonds.
I love your recipe!! Of course, because it was so rich and protein-packed, I could only go for a run after breakfast ;)

This was my first overnight oats attempt (I prefer cooked oats), but have to say I was delighted! I decided that if I was going to put this into my regular breakfast rotation, I would try powdered peanut butter instead and reduce the amount of fat and calories. It wasn’t quite the same (after all, is there anything better than peanut butter?), but it was a very acceptable alternative. I used 2 heaping tablespoons of the powder, a dash of salt, and a little extra almond milk and it turned out great! I recommend giving it a try if you love the flavor of peanut butter, but not all the fat and calories that go along with it!

Seriously love this recipe, have made it hundreds of times. I love adding chopped apple in the morning for crunch. Keeps me full till lunch!

This is seriously the most delicious, easiest recipe I’ve made for breakfast. I’ve always been grossed out by oats because of how gummy they usually are- these were not gummy at all. I made them 20hrs in advance and they were perfect. I used less than 1Tbsp of maple syrup and they were perfectly sweet. I heated up for 30sec with a splash of almond milk and then added fresh strawberries and bananas. Just delicious!!! Thank you!!

These overnight oats are so easy to make and SO delicious!!!!! My boyfriend tried them and is hooked. I came home from work and found a note asking if I could make “the magical oats” for him lol. I vary using peanut bu

I stumbled upon this “Oldie” last night as I was trying to prep for this morning – my first morning alone with my three kiddos (4yo, 2yo and 8weeks). Getting them dressed, fed and out the door is always challenging. I decided I would try overnight oats to make my morning easier. Having it prepped last night have me the confidence to handle the morning and, having BOTH my girls eat their breakfast (or at least most of it) made my morning a huge success! I had made a triple recipe (one for each of us) but if/when I do it again, i will make only 2 as I ended up splitting one between my girls. I sliced up a banana, swirled a little PB and topped it off with some chopped walnuts and they felt like they were having a treat for breakfast.
This is also a great find for me as a breastfeeding mom who’s trying to keep up her supply (oats help milk production).
Thank you so much for the easy, kid friendly recipe!

I have tried several different overnight oats recipes, but this one is hands-down the easiest and tastiest! I can’t handle many textures or weird flavors (yogurt is a no-go) in the mornings. I will admit I was slightly terrified to take the first bite, feaeful of the gag reflex. I was so pleasantly surprised though! These oats are my new go-to morning favorite. And they are so healthy! My natural peanut butter was lacking some oil due to a stirring mishap, so my peanut butter chunk sunk to the bottom. I’ll just leave it out in the future because they were super yummy even without that addition. I’ll add some in, or some almond butter or even Nutella for a special treat in the future.

Thank you Dana!!! You have made going vegan a joy. I have been sharing your recipes with my family for more than a year and I’ve never had a dud, they all turn out amazing!!! This recipe is the bomb and no exception!! So If there is a moment you think it doesn’t matter, realize that you’re helping make the quality of peoples lives better… I would be lost as GF & Vegan without your help!

Thanks from me and my family!

I usually never leave comments, but I just had to say that this is the best overnight oats recipe EVER. I’ve tried making overnight oats countless times since they first got popular and I always thought people were A) nuts B) liars for saying how much they enjoyed them *until I tried this recipe*.

I’ve had this every morning for two weeks straight! I add a splash of unsweetened vanilla almond milk in the morning and top mine with sliced banana and almond slivers.

Made this last night and am currently eating it right now. I topped mine with half a sliced banana. I literally could eat this every morning!! I made another overnight oats recipe a couple of weeks ago and this one here blows the other out of the water!! Definitely sharing this recipe with everyone I know. Thank you !

SO glad we found this recipe! My husband and I make this regularly and its insanely fast and simple to make, and the consistency is like fancy rice pudding it’s delicious. I’ve started messing around with some spices in it and have found that a little bit of cinnamon (or if you’re feeling fancy also AllSpice and Ginger) really makes a fab addition as well. Can’t believe I’d never tried overnight oats before this but I’m a total convert now

I have tried a couple other overnight oats and these are by far the best! Delicious! I did not modify it at all – love the peanut butter! Only request is for more overnight oat recipes!!

This looks amazing! So much so that I have a pot waiting for me once breakfast rolls around in a couple of hours :D as soon as I saw it last night, I knew I needed to give it a try!

I added up the macros on MFP and I don’t know if it’s the peanut butter I’m using but it indicated that this recipe’s got a whopping 22g of protein in it!! Really can’t complain at that :p

This recipe is my go to! Love love love. My bf loves it too. Simple and perfect

So incredibly delicious!! I made it with Vanilla Almond milk & threw in a few carob chips. When I was ready to eat, I warmed it just a bit, added granola & Hemp Hearts. Just wonderful!!!!

Since we aren’t really interested in eating anything before we get to work where we get hungry around 8:30 these have been PERFECT to making sure we eat breakfast. So easy to prep the night before and throw it in our bags for a desk breakfast. Neither of us particularly cared for oatmeal of any kind before this recipe. We love it! We add blueberries in the morning for a kick of antioxidants and to get some more fruit in our diets. Thank you for breakfast!

I have made this recipe several times and have tried minor alterations each time just to try out different versions of the same recipe and every time, my oats have come out amazing and delicious. The one alteration I would suggest to most anyone, and of course everyone has a different preference on consistency, is that I add an extra splash of almond milk after I have finished preparing my oats. I make the full recipe and then at the end, I add justa splash more milk to make sure everything is fully covered with a small extra layer of milk over the top. I found that without doing this, my oats in the morning are extremely thick and sticky so this just gives it a touch more of a creamy consistency. I’ve also tried making this with half of the peanut butter being extra crunchy pb and the other half being almond butter. This gives the oats a little bit of a crunch to break up the consistency and a really nice touch as well as a womderful mixture of delicious flavors. Also, in the morning when I am ready to eat my oats, I add banana slices and strawberry slices just before I eat it so that they are very fresh and the texture and flavor is as rich and fresh and delicious as possible. This is truly the best overnight oats recipe I have tried yet. LOVE it!! One last tid-bit; if you prefer to have your peanut butter or almond butter mixed smoothly into the oats rather than having larger swirls and chunks of it throughout it, if you mix the syrup snd peanut butter together before adding it to the recipe, it thins it out just enough so that it mixes smoothly right into the mixture entirely rather than being swirls and gobs of peanut butter throughout. However, I quite enjoy the peanut and almond butter swirl surprises in my bites of oats!!! Thank you for the recipe!!! Very enjoyable!! <3

I loved this recipe! It is delicious. I usually add a little more milk after it sits in the fridge overnight, because it can harden.

I have made this recipe many times. Now that I am working on losing weight, I have substituted peanut butter powder to keep the fat content down and it’s still really delish.

The oats were amazing! I ate them for breakfast this morning, and I added some rasberries and a little bit of my homemade granola…. Delish! Thank you so much Dana!

Made this for the first time -delicious! My kid stole the rest of mine since he tasted it and liked it so much. Happy to have a new, quick breakfast option.

Thank you for this easy recipe! I made this directly in the peanut butter jar to use up the last scrapings of peanut butter. I had no chia seeds and used dairy milk and also doubled the ingredients as it was a big jar. So delicious!!

This recipe is amazing! We make this almost every morning since finding the recipe and it’s satisfying, filling, and very easy to make the night before! Love how easily it can be customized. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is so good. I’ve just made a variation of PB and Blackberry Jam! Only 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp of blackberry jam (or any jam, I used a sugar free homemade one) 1/2 TSP maple syrup, the rest of the ingredients in the same quantities. (Swirl the jam in after combining this rest of the ingredients). I have yet to taste this concoction as it is chilling overnight now but it looks good (especially topped with more jam, peanuts and cacoa nibs!)
Overnight oats are for sure my favourite breakfast, both for nutrition and for speed (though I love smoothies too…)
Thank you for this recipe! The origionaL is great just as written (but I only used a TSP of sweetener, an adjustment I always make).
