Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- Pinch of sea salt
Toppings
- Blueberries
- Extra peanut butter (for drizzling)
- Chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of sea salt into a bowl.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring that the peanut butter is evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.
- Portion and Refrigerate: Divide the oat mixture evenly into two containers such as mason jars. Seal the containers with lids or cover them tightly with plastic wrap, and place them in the refrigerator overnight (about 8 hours) to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Stir Before Serving: The next morning, remove one container from the fridge and stir the oats to combine the soaked ingredients.
- Add Toppings: Top your overnight oats with a drizzle of extra peanut butter, fresh blueberries, and chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
- Storage: Store any remaining jars in the fridge, sealed, for up to 5 days to enjoy quick and nutritious breakfasts throughout the week.
Notes
- Using old fashioned rolled oats provides the best texture; avoid instant oats as they can become too mushy.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yogurt.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Feel free to customize toppings with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit of your choice.
- Make sure the container is sealed properly to prevent the oats from drying out in the fridge.
