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.
