Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats

Chocolate and peanut butter: who can resist? Add oats to the equation, and you have a super tasty and nutritious meal with plenty of benefits for your health.

Just like my peanut butter and jelly overnight oats, or these cocoa overnight oats, you assemble this oatmeal in 5 minutes, and the next morning, you have an epic breakfast that will keep you full for many hours.

How to Make Chocolate Overnight Oats

Making a healthy breakfast that tastes like dessert has never been this easy! Here’s how:

  1. Fill the jars with old-fashioned oats, cocoa powder, creamy peanut butter, vanilla, honey (if using), and milk. Stir to combine.
  2. Refrigerate the overnight oat jars for 8 hours or overnight. 
  3. Enjoy cold or warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. They last up to 4 days in the fridge (2-3 days if you added fruit).

Healthy Add-in Ideas

Here are a few great things to add when you make chocolate peanut butter overnight oats or for topping them:

  • ground flaxseed, ½ teaspoon per serving
  • hemp seeds, 1 teaspoon per serving
  • protein powder, 2 tablespoons per serving
  • chopped nuts, 1 tablespoon per serving
  • fresh fruit, ½ cup per serving
  • dried fruit, 1 tablespoon per serving
  • mini chocolate chips
  • coconut flakes

More Overnight Oats Recipes

Overnight oats are a convenient breakfast you can customize and never feel repetitive. Other tasty recipes are cinnamon roll overnight oats, creamy peach overnight oats, strawberry overnight oats, and overnight oats with yogurt.
