This chocolate peanut butter overnight oats recipe tastes like a peanut butter cup and has 30g Protein. Made with healthy, real-food ingredients that are rich in protein, fiber, healthy fats, and complex carbs.
To a bowl (or directly in a storage jar), add dry ingredients: oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, salt, and protein powder. Give everything a whisk to combine the ingredients.
Add the liquid ingredients: almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and water. Stir the ingredients until well combined. A fork works best for this to create a creamy texture and evenly distribute the peanut butter throughout the oats.
Secure the lid on the jar and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours to set (for the best results). Store the chocolate peanut butter oats for up to 4 days in the fridge.
Before enjoying, add favorite toppings: sliced bananas, raspberries, sliced strawberries, cacao nibs or chocolate chips (for a dessert), or extra peanut butter. Add one topping or try different combinations.
Serve cold for breakfast, lunch, as a snack, or for dessert to satisfy a sweet tooth.
Notes
Makes 1 serving for 1 person. Double or triple the recipe to make multiple jars.Chocolate Protein Powder: There are a lot of not-so-great protein powders on the market, filled with all sorts of processed junk. My go-to chocolate protein powders are Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen Protein and Simply Tera's Whey Protein. Both have great flavor and are made with real ingredients. For 20 grams of protein, you'll need 2 scoops for these brands. The number of scoops will be determined by your protein powder and should total 20 grams of protein.Almond Milk: Use any milk of your choice: whole dairy milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or even oat milk.Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats; not quick oats or steel cut oats.
