High-Protein Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Serves: 1 | Prep time: 5 mins | Total time: 5 mins | Chill time: 4 hours+
Ingredients You’ll Need:
½ cup whole rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best)
1 tbsp chia seeds (for fiber and thick texture)
⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup Greek yogurt (adds a velvety, high-protein boost)
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
½ tsp pure maple syrup (plus more for serving)
A pinch of sea salt (crucial for enhancing the peanut butter flavor)
Optional Garnishes:
Fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds (for a crunch)
Your favorite granola
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Combine the Base: In a mason jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter.
Stir Thoroughly: Stir vigorously with a spoon until the peanut butter is well incorporated and no dry clumps of oats remain.
Seal and Chill: Cover the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
Garnish and Serve: In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. If they are too thick, splash in a little extra almond milk. Top with your choice of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, fresh berries, or granola, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy cold!
