These creamy peanut butter overnight oats are a high-protein, make-ahead breakfast that’s rich, satisfying, and customizable. Prep them in minutes for a chilled, spoonable treat that keeps you full and energized all morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk, or non-dairy coconut yogurt for vegan)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1 scoop (about 1/4 cup) vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, banana slices, fresh berries, extra peanut butter, mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and measuring tools.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spoon the mixture into a 12-oz mason jar or airtight container. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency.
  6. Top with your favorite extras such as banana slices, chopped peanuts, a drizzle of peanut butter, or mini chocolate chips.
  7. Serve cold straight from the jar, or microwave for 20–30 seconds for a warm version.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified GF oats. For vegan, use plant-based yogurt, non-dairy milk, and vegan protein powder or skip it. Adjust sweetness to taste. If oats are too thick, add more milk before serving; if too runny, add more chia seeds or oats and let sit longer. Keeps up to 4 days in the fridge. Customize with mix-ins like cocoa powder, berries, or cinnamon.
