Variations for the Best Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Use any milk: My personal preference for these Peanut Butter Overnight Oats is unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk, but use whatever you prefer.
Toppings: no strawberries available? Substitute with bananas, apples, mango, or even pineapple!
Add chocolate: If you are as big of a chocolate fan as I am, then these also are great with chocolate added. You can either break off some chips of your high quality dark chocolate bar or add some mini semi sweet chocolate chips! YUM!
Add different protein: While the peanut butter, chia seed, and oats combination offers a large amount of protein in these peanut butter overnight oats already, I often add protein or collagen powder to my overnight oats to change them up. If you choose to do this, then your oats may need an extra splash of milk.
Nut Butter Variation: The peanut butter can be substituted for any nut butter you prefer or even Sunbutter.
How to make Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Step 1. In a very large mixing bowl, add in your milk, chia seeds, oats, and maple syrup, or raw honey.
Step 2. Stir to combine well.
Step 3. Fold in the peanut butter.
Step 4. Cover in the bowl and refrigerate overnight, OR divide equally into mason jars or small bowls with lids, and then cover and refrigerate overnight.
Enjoy!

Tips for the best result
➡️Rachel’s notes:
- Use unsweetened milk to keep the sugar down in these overnight oats.
- Once they’re ready, stir your oatmeal really well, this will make it creamier.
- If you set it in the fridge overnight in a large bowl, or batch, divide equally into small mason jars, bowls, or cups and top with fresh berries, chopped peanuts for texture, and a drizzle of extra peanut butter if desired.

Why are oats so good for you?
There are many benefits to eating oats(oats and eating clean infographic) such as being a healthy source of carbohydrates, fiber, and protein. Studies have shown oats to be good at lowering bad cholesterol and balancing blood sugar. Due to many of the nutrients like fiber and protein, oats can also help you feel fuller longer which helps keep you from overeating throughout the day.
Is it okay to eat uncooked oats?
It is okay to eat uncooked oats however, soaking the oats, as is done in overnight oats, is important. Overnight as they soak, the starches break down which improves digestibility and the natural phytic acid (which all plants contain) is greatly reduced that makes them more easily absorbed by your body!
Recipe FAQs
Is peanut butter good in overnight oats?
Peanut butter is delicious in overnight oats if you are a peanut butter lover like me! If not, use a nut butter that you love instead.
Can peanut butter be mixed with oats?
Absolutely! And if you ask me, it is a great combination!
Do you eat overnight oats cold?
Yes. These oats are meant to be eaten cold like pudding, but you can heat them up if you like.
Can you eat overnight oats right away?
I don’t suggest eating overnight oats right away. Leaving the oats to soak in the liquid overnight makes them more easily digestible, and more palatable, giving them a creamy delicious texture.
