Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats step by step
Note: The darker or more pure the cocoa powder is, the more bitter it becomes (think dark versus milk chocolate). Similarly, traditional maple syrup used for pancakes versus pure maple syrup will be sweeter due to the ingredients. Keep this in mind when making your oatmeal. **Both of these options pictured aren’t as sweet, so I add 2 heaping tablespoons of vanilla yogurt! :).
Stir all of the oat ingredients together until well blended. Place in an airtight container or jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until thickened. (Coconut added for texture out of preference!).
Stir well before serving with banana slices, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and/or any of your other favorite toppings!.
When it comes to a quick, satisfying breakfast, it is hard to beat overnight oats. Here, almond milk and chocolate peanut butter powder join forces for a rich, nutty breakfast cereal. We suggest topping it with banana slices, but you could use just about any kind of fresh fruit you have on hand. In addition to being a nourishing meal, peanut butter overnight oats are loaded with nutrients. Rolled oats are rich in fiber, magnesium, and zinc, and have long been associated with heart health benefits.
