Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats the classic choice for overnight oats
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy, your call!
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter I know, it’s the star of the show
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional, but it adds some extra love
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for a little sweetness
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract because, why not?
  • A pinch of salt just a tiny one—trust me, it makes a difference!

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions:

    Step 1: Grab a Mason jar (or any container)

    • Find yourself a cute mason jar, or whatever you’ve got laying around. I love mason jars for this because they give off that “cool, homemade”.
    • But if you don’t want to use that, a bowl or a plastic container works just fine.

    Step 2: Add the oats

    • Put in your rolled oats into the jar. Make sure it’s rolled oats, not instant oats.
    • Rolled oats will soak up the liquid and become all creamy and delicious, while instant oats... well, they’re not really the vibe we’re going for.

    Step 3: Pour in the milk

    • Now, pour in your milk. I love using almond milk, but regular dairy works just as well.
    • You do you! Stir it gently so the oats are nicely soaked. If you want a creamier texture, add a little more milk—totally up to you.

    Step 4: Stir in the peanut butter

    • Here comes the fun part. Spoon in that glorious peanut butter. It’s like the secret sauce that makes this whole recipe special.
    • Stir it in well so it gets mixed evenly throughout. Peanut butter + oats = magic, trust me.

    Step 5: Add the extras

    • This is where you can get creative! Add a spoonful of honey or maple syrup for sweetness, a sprinkle of vanilla extract for flavor, and a pinch of salt to balance it out.
    • Mix everything together, and you’ll see that perfect peanut butter swirl throughout. Yes, please!

    Step 6: Chill and wait

    • Here’s the hardest part, wait! Stick the jar in the fridge overnight (or at least for a few hours).
    • Let those oats soak up all the goodness and turn into a dreamy, creamy breakfast waiting for you when you wake up.

    Step 7: Enjoy the next morning

    • Now, the moment of glory! Take that jar out of the fridge, give it a quick stir, and you’re ready to serve.
