Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, peanut butter, and cocoa powder. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed and the peanut butter is well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it soak overnight or for at least 6-8 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You can enjoy it cold directly or warm it briefly if preferred. Optionally, add toppings like sliced bananas, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats can become mushy.
- Adjust milk quantity depending on your preferred consistency.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
- Add a natural sweetener if desired, such as honey, maple syrup, or agave.
- Can be prepared in advance for up to 3 days, stored in the refrigerator.
