Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
Good morning everyone! Today I am bringing you a healthy, quick, and easy breakfast recipe that requires no baking. You guys already know how much I love having my oatmeal for breakfast. There are a ton of delicious oatmeal recipes up on my blog, like this creamy pumpkin pie oatmeal recipe.
However, I decided it was time to switch things up and make a cold overnight oatmeal recipe for all of you. I love prepping overnight oats for busy workdays because you can easily make them then night before and then store them in the fridge so that they are ready to eat in the morning. Overnight oats truly are the perfect no bake breakfast.
Now, let’s go through a few logistics as well as the list of ingredients you will need to make this tasty and simple peanut butter chocolate chip overnight oats recipe.
What Oats Are Best For Overnight Oats?
When it comes to choosing your oats for overnight oats, a lot of it has to do with personal preference. I really like using quick oats for my overnight oats because I find that the texture comes out super creamy. That’s what I recommend using. You could probably sub rolled oats, but I haven’t tried it.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats – Ingredients
- Quick Oats – Oats are the first essential ingredient for this recipe (unsurprisingly). After all, you can’t make an oatmeal recipe without oats. As mentioned above, I personally like quick oats best when I’m making overnight oats. The quick oats ensure that you end up with a thick and creamy consistency.
- Powdered Peanut Butter – The powdered peanut butter is used to add protein and flavor to this recipe. I used PBfit brand, which I definitely recommend. I like the flavor and consistency of it. Plus, it is sold in larger containers than other brands, so it is a bit more cost effective. This ingredient is key for the peanut butter chocolate chip overnight oats, as it adds flavor and sweetness to the base.
- Chia Seeds – Chia seeds may be small, but they are certainly mighty, especially in overnight oats. Chia seeds are a vegan superfood that is packed with nutrients, fiber, and protein. Chia seeds also absorb liquid and help everything bind together. They form a gel-like consistency when soaked in the nut milk. Thus, chia seeds are the perfect addition to this vegan peanut butter chocolate chip overnight oats recipe.
- Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips – Chocolate chips are essential for this recipe to add sweetness and chocolate flavor in every bite. For this recipe, I used mini semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips. The mini chips add the perfect amount of chocolate flavor to this peanut butter chocolate chip overnight oats recipe.
- Nut Milk – The nut milk is the liquid that will be used to soak the oats in overnight. Nut milk adds a ton of flavor and creaminess to your oatmeal. You can use whichever nut milk you like best or have on hand. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I do think that the vanilla flavor adds a little something extra, so I highly recommend it.
- Pure Maple Syrup – This ingredient adds a bit of extra sweetness to the overnight oats. It is an essential ingredient that you definitely don’t want to forget. You can also add a bit more pure maple syrup to taste as a topping for your overnight oats.
- Creamy Peanut Butter – The creamy peanut butter adds a ton of flavor to this recipe. It will be used as a topping for your overnight oatmeal.
