I first made a batch of these Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats to leave for my boyfriend while I was away on vacation. He demolished the whole batch and requested more when I got back. A few more batches later and it was time to share! Thankfully, they’re super easy to make with just a few nutritious ingredients.

How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats:

  1. Mix together all of your ingredients! Simply stir together the gluten-free oats, chia seeds, almond milk, peanut butter, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. I make this easy on myself and mix everything together in a glass food storage container that doubles as storage. 
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the oats have absorbed all of the liquid. I usually prep it in the evening and let everything absorb overnight.
  3. Stir, spoon into your bowl, and top with garnishes! I like topping my oats with banana slices, extra peanut butter, and hemp/chia seeds. Berries and this Easy Chocolate Granola are great toppings too.

You can also substitute the peanut butter for any other of your favorite nut or seed butter in these Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats. Enjoy!!
