Ingredients

0.5 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1 tablespoon peanut butter

0.5 cup milk of choice

0.25 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

1 pinch salt


Instructions

1. In a mason jar or container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and salt. Mix well.

2. Add in the peanut butter, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.

3. Seal the container with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.

4. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if needed to loosen the texture.

5. Top with more peanut butter, fruits, or nuts and enjoy cold or warm it slightly.

Notes

Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture, or crunchy for added bite.

Add toppings like banana, granola, or cacao nibs right before serving to keep them fresh.

Adjust the thickness by adding more or less milk to suit your texture preference.
