Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Add-ins

  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for added fiber)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, whisk together the milk, peanut butter, Greek yogurt (if using), maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  3. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to maintain their shape without melting.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soak and absorb the flavors.
  5. Serve: In the morning, stir the mixture well and enjoy your creamy, peanut butter cookie dough-flavored overnight oats.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk—dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk — based on your preference.
  • Greek yogurt is optional but adds extra creaminess and protein.
  • Maple syrup or honey provides natural sweetness and can be adjusted to taste.
  • Chia seeds are optional but contribute fiber and a thicker texture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • For a nuttier flavor, try adding chopped peanuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
