Creamy, rich, and packed with protein, these peanut butter–chocolate overnight oats are a perfect grab-and-go breakfast that tastes like dessert but fuels your day with wholesome ingredients.

  • Total Time: 4 hours (or overnight)
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 cup milk (any kind, such as dairy, almond, or oat milk)
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 12 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors and nutrients.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, then add the peanut butter and honey or maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined into a uniform mixture.
  3. 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 absorb the liquids and flavors to meld.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top the oats with chocolate chips if desired for extra texture and chocolate flavor. Enjoy chilled for a creamy, satisfying breakfast.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste preference.
  • For extra creaminess and added protein, stir in some Greek yogurt before refrigerating.
  • Substitute peanut butter with almond butter or other nut butters for a different flavor profile or to accommodate allergies.
