If you love having breakfast ready to go, these peanut butter overnight oats are about to become a staple in your routine. As a 50-year-old woman focused on health, strength, and maintaining a healthy weight, I’ve learned that consistency matters more than perfection, and having simple, nourishing meals (and snacks! I’m looking at you, peanut butter protein balls) prepared ahead of time makes showing up for yourself so much easier.

And the best part about overnight oats is that you can make so many flavor variations including; chocolate chia, apple pie overnight oats, and blueberry lemon overnight oats (just to name a few). Simply stir all of the ingredients together, pop it in the fridge, and chill overnight. When you wake up, a healthy breakfast is ready when you are.

Healthy Home Cook Tip: Want to boost the protein even more? Stir in a half scoop of your favorite vanilla or peanut butter protein powder before refrigerating. You may need to add a splash of extra milk to keep the oats creamy. It’s an easy way to make this breakfast even more filling and balanced.

Before you get started, let’s take a quick look at what you’ll need. These simple ingredients come together to create a flavor-packed breakfast with very little effort. You’ll find the full list with exact measurements in the recipe card below.

Small bowls with rolled oats, milk, peanut butter, cinnamon and chia seeds.

Greek yogurt: Adds creaminess and a boost of protein. Use full-fat for extra richness or nonfat for a lighter option.
Peanut butter: The star flavor! Natural peanut butter works great, just make sure it’s well stirred before adding.
Chia seeds: Help thicken the oats and add fiber and healthy fats. If your oats seem too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk.
Maple syrup: A touch of natural sweetness. You can swap with honey, stevia, or monk fruit for a lower-sugar option.

Meal Prep Tip

Double or quadruple this recipe to make a batch for the week, and portion it into individual jars for easy grab-and-go mornings. I like to prep four at a time so there’s always a healthy breakfast ready for everyone, even on our busiest days. It takes just a few extra minutes and saves so much time during the week.

For storage, I love using short, wide 16-ounce mason jars. They give you plenty of room to stir everything together and leave extra space on top for all those delicious toppings.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 teaspoons chia seed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons maple syrup can use stevia or monk fruit for lower sugar

Instructions

Divide oats, almond milk, yogurt, peanut butter, chia seeds, cinnamon, maple syrup, and sea salt into two mason jars. Stir well to combine, making sure the peanut butter gets evenly dispersed. Seal with a lid and place in the fridge overnight.

Notes

Fridge: Store in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For the best texture, add toppings just before serving. Give the oats a good stir and add a splash of milk if they need loosening.

Freezer: Place in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and it’ll be ready to enjoy the next morning.

Protein Booster: Stir in a half scoop of your favorite protein powder to increase the protein content of these oats. I recommend using vanilla– or peanut butter-flavored protein.
