A quick and nourishing overnight oats recipe combining rolled oats, peanut butter, and frozen fruit for a creamy, filling breakfast that’s ready to grab and go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, natural preferred)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the oats and chia seeds in a medium bowl or mason jar and stir together.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk peanut butter with milk until smooth.
  3. Stir in maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the peanut butter mixture.
  4. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oats and chia seeds and stir thoroughly to coat evenly.
  5. Gently fold in the frozen mixed berries.
  6. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats gently. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Optionally top with extra berries or peanut butter before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; natural peanut butter works best and can be blended with milk for smoothness. Frozen fruit adds natural sweetness and texture. Adjust sweetener to taste. Can substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Warm gently if preferred.
